hi
I seem to have a little difficulty with adding ram into my system. I was running with 64mb and only 56 was recognised , so I finally gave up and got 2 256mb chips all went well so far it cycles through all 512mb on the memory test and windows knows that it is there in the system performance. Programs on my system are opening up so much faster but they seem to take a big bite out of my resorces. for example I open up music match and the system performance drops from 94% to 69%. Obviously something isn't right cause if it is using up that much ram on my system then I never would have been able to run it on 64 mb .
so really 2 questions
1. memory use, why or how to fix
and
2. memory check at the beginning , any way to disable cause it is annoying
Thanks and HELP
Things I left out : win 98, IBM aptiva 2193-32u, any other questions or any other relevent info I left out just ask and Ill get back ASAP
