Going to look into the stick thing..I have a couple I'm not using....




Most computers that shipped with XP also shipped with DDR ram in them.

DDR is Double Density Ram and yields two ram cycles for every clock cycle.

Thus your 512mb of DDR is likely funtcioning as 1gb of single density ram would.

RAM sticks must be installed in MATCHED PAIRS in the right sockets of the motherboard in order for your BIOS to identify and run them in DDR mode, otherwise, it will automatically revert to Single Density mode -- And you could easily be taking a hit as to how much memory power you really have available.

2 - 256mb DDR sticks make 512mb

2 - 512mb sticks makes 1gb

or

2 - 1gb sticks = 2gb

However, adding say, one more 265mb stick to the first example would mean that you would force your motherboard to run the three sticks as Single Density and thus 768mb of RAM, which would function WORSE than the original two 256mb sticks yielding 512mb of DDR Double Density Ram, or the equivalent of 1gb of Single Density Ram.

Don't bother. They are not ram.

Of course, DDR also stands for 'Deutsche Demokratische Republik' (former East Germany), which no longer exists. Perhaps, in time, DDR RAM will go the way of East Germany...
