Strange RAM problem

Hi,

I just received my order from crucial for another 2gb stick for my imac.

Currently I have the apple 1gb stock in one slot and a crucial 2gb in the other.

I have just replaced the apple ram for the new 2gb crucial stick and when I switch my imac back on it still show in the 'about' page I have 3gb:confused::confused:

I have checked and doubled checked all the ram is in properly, and have no more ideas what might be going on.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I'd give this new 2 GB stick a chance to report 2 GB by itself. Only install this new RAM and see that happens. If it doesn't show 2 GB, give Crucial a call and get it replaced.

How does waiting effect this? What causes it not to be recognized?

Well I'd make sure it's really 2 GB RAM and then call up Crucial for a replacement.

The sticker on the ram label says 2gb and so did the anti static packaging and I order 2gb and it said it on the invoice so if it wasn't it certainly should have been ;)

Thanks ill call them tomorrow I think :)

That pretty much confirms it should be a 2 GB stick of RAM.

Good luck in calling Crucial.
