You can go into the BIOS and see what banks have values in them. I have
2 gigs of ram, 1 gig per bank (slot) so mine reads:


BANK1: 102400 (KB)
BANK2: 102400 (KB)


HTH,


Mike

Thanks for all the feedback.

Is there a way to find out if I have 2X256 or 1X512 in my
machine without taking the cover off? It just makes me nervous.

Personally I don't think you'll see a huge increase in any
particular
application, but you should see a difference in running multiple
applications at once.

Basically if you can afford it I'd go for the Gig, definitely.
Even if you
see NO difference you can also set up a nice RAM disk and use it
to speed up
your browser by caching to RAM.  ;^)

Subject: RAM Question

Ok, so my new computer has a 3 GHz P4 and 512 MB of PC3200 400
MHz RAM.

My question is...

Will I see a marked difference in mulitasking and graphics
programs(like Photoshop) if I add 1 GIG (making it 1512MB), or
will the
performance jump remarkably with just an additional 512 MB
(taking it up
to 1G).

I am asking because there is quite a price difference in the 512
sticks
vs. the Gig sticks.

TIA
