Only one stick or both sticks but only half the 512 ram? If it's the latter, 
you may have the wrong density DIMM. Data memory systems sez yes this takes 4 
512M DIMMS:



Try swapping them around in the slots or swapping in one at a time. Perhaps one 
of the DIMMS is bad?

Are you running OS 9?  OS 9 can only access 1Gb, OS X can access the full 
amount.

Memory G4

[Buzzby]

I have another mac besides the Quicksilver.
This is a better one.  PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 1.42Ghz 4 hard drives

My problem is I cannot get it to see more than 1gb of memory and online 
says it can use up to 2gb.
Right now I have 4 sticks of 256 PC2700 but when I install 512 sticks it 
only sees one.
Is there a way to upgrade more than 1GB or hould I stick to that?
