Computer not recognising my shiny new RAM.
KatEnigma:
32 bit versions of Windows won't USE more than 3.something GB of RAM, but it will see it.
Argon:
Not in the system properties window it won't. Search the KB articles on Micro$oft's website, the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) can't see it so nothing else in the OS will know it's there. It is a limitation of a 32-bit data path, you see it in other operating systems as well.
J. M. Pescado:
32-bit machines cannot show more than 4 GBs of all memories. If you have more than that, nothing happens. Even that alleged Vista hack will not enable Vista to actually see that many RAMs.
KatEnigma:
But shouldn't it be showing him/her 3 GB, or 4 GB, not 2?
bowrain:
Maybe it only recognizes the new 2 GB stick and ignores the three 1 GB sticks?
