I had a bit of a scare with my PC last week, but I got that sorted out before long and was after some answers to the questions I had as to what happened... and I have only one question left to ask...
IF I have 4 slots to put my memory in, and I have two sticks totaling the memory that Windows says I have, then why do I have two smaller sticks that seem to do nothing?
I'll phrase that better, I have 2 SDRAM sticks of 128kb (or thereabouts), making what my machine says is 255kb Ram.
But in the two remaining RAM slots I have two mystery sticks that MAY be ram.
The length is the same (fits into my SDRAM sockets) but they arn't as high. Heres a piccy to show you... PIC.
Any ideas? As far as I can work out (with help from 'Ronin'), it's NOT memory- so what the hell is it?
The top stick in the pic is of my 128kb RAM, the bottom is the unknown object- it does however have an MSI logo and a product number... "MS-6908 Ver. 100", a search on the MSI website proved useless. So its over to you guys.
