So I recently upgraded from a single OCZ 512mb stick to a 1GB stick of Corsair XMS along with another 512MB stick of the same XMS. So 1.5GB total. Sandra,Everest, and those type of programs show that I have 1.5GB. But when I open task manager and look under the performance tab, it shows my total physical memory to be only 1GB. Why would this be? I also run Clevercache Pro, and it also tells me I have 1GB available. I'm confused!

What does CPU-Z say? What does your BIOS say? Press start and right click on my computer and go to properties, it should also show some how much ram. Some motherboards aren't good with higher density ram, so maybe try switching them around in the slots.

CPUZ/CPUID shows both sticks, total of 1.5GB.
