Gman,

As per your email from last night:

'Specifically, a matched set of 1GB sticks installed into slots 1 & 3 or 
slots 2 & 4 would
allow 2GB in dual-channel mode.  Any other combiniation of slots would force
the board back into single-channel mode which is how it's running right 
now.'

 So then you recommend I buy an additional stick of 1 gig memory to match 
the other I bought (unless I can return that one and get a better price 
online) and take out the older three sticks?

So then, regardless of what slot my brother had put the extra stick of 512 
memory in (to add to the already installed two sticks of 256 that came with 
the computer), it did not really improve any performance and may have in 
fact caused the computer to stop using dual-channel mode and to go into 
using single channel mode? (How do you know what mode it is performing in 
unless you look at the memory sticks and how they are placed then?  Will I 
notice a big improvement if I ever get this straightened out?

thanks,
