[QUOTE="Kash, post: 581284, member: 23444"] You can technically mix and match RAM without much of a problem, so if the 2GB stick didn't work after you stuck it in, then there must be some other problem. Here are some of the issues I think it might be: 1) You bought the wrong type of memory. 2) You didn't install it properly. 3) You have a faulty stick. Tell us the exact type of memory you got and we'll tell you if you got the right type. As for installation, did you make sure you pushed it all the way in? All of the guides I've read and from my own personal experience, you have to apply a bit of force to get the stick all the way in. And the only way to really test the last scenario is to rule out the first two. [/QUOTE]
