I have an 8 year old Dell Dimension 8300. It was recently hit with a virus that took Norton to remove. I've been told by them, as well as when trying to download that my memory is inadequate. The system says 256mb so I went out and bought an additional 512. When I opened the computer, I noticed all 4 memory slots are filled. I think at some point I had already increased the RAM.
Question 1: The OEM sticks say 128mb. The newer ones are also 128mb. Why isn't the total 512 when I check the system using control panel?
Question2: Is removing any of the 4 sticks recommended?
Thanks.
