Hi, I have Dell Dimension E510. It came with 1gb of ram and 80gb of seagate hdd. I put a new 10k rpm hdd in raid level 0 + I put 2x1 gb ram. My computer only shows 2.5 gb of ram instead of 3gb. I checked in bios it only shows 3x512+1gb = 2.5gb. Power supply is only 305 watts. I also put 56k modem+dual net wireless + bluetooth card. Please post your reviews because I only have 2 more days to rma my ram or I will have to pay 15% restocking fee. I made sure that all memory modules are working properly. so I don't know if it is the motherboard or the powersupply.

Onboard is only using 8mb of memory so I am sure that's not why it shows less ram. I am returning this ram back to newegg maybe some different ram will do some better. I am also replacing the powersupply.
