About your error messages when using Norton Diagnostics, here's a brief explanation from SYMANTEC -

"Norton Diagnostics cannot run a memory test on systems having more than 256 MB of memory. This is a limitation of Norton Diagnostics and it is not a problem with your computer's RAM."

For more details go to service1.symantec.com

Most probably your RAM is of different speed and made by different company. Some of my ram which are not made by the same company also have the same problem when i mixed them together. However, the problem dissapear when i used the same type.

Thank you for your input tommy but the explanation at Symantec helped to solve the problem I had.

Like i said, it was NOT that the pc was not finding the correct amount of RAM, it was just that Norton Diagnostics said that there were errors with them (which was not true).
