I dont believe this. My system actually lowered its speed when Ive added an extra 256 module! My system is AMD athlon with 80 GB hard drive and integrated graphical card. When I boot my computer, I can see 512 mb RAM, but it doesnt work. What is the problem here? Should I replace my module? Thanks!

The thing is your memorys speed doesnt match other memorys speed. For example, your first module works on 333 Mhz and the second one on 400 Mhz. What is your second module speed? Are you sure that your motherboard supports you memory? Check this in your motherboards manual! If you are sure that the speed is the problem, simply replace your module with a different one. That is the only solution that I can think of. Then, have you added more components except memory? Have you installed the module properly, what about that? It might be a software problem, so check all you installation and is if there is a conflict somewhere. Go to the device profile manager and check your memory range. I am not so good in this hardware issues, so dont take any of these suggestions for granted.
