Hi Sylvia,
Thanks so much for the guidance. I have purchased the following RAM and
it " works " , that is, The O/S boots up and performs as it did with the 4 Gigs of
Kingston ram. BUT this ram is only reporting at bios and at O/S level 4 gigs of ram.
Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5C 4GB XMS2
PC2-6400 800Mhz 240-Pin Dual Channel DDR2 Desktop Memory
i.e. the motherboard/bios does not seem to be recognizing and utilizing
the 8 Gigs. I have the latest bios installed.
