Hi and welcome to D-A-L

according to this you can only have 1GB of RAM

oh o.k so how am does that mean i can only put 256 and 512mb in

you can put at most 2 sticks of 512MB =1024MB = 1GB

If you've already got 2 sticks of 256MB you'll have to remove them both and replace with 2 x 512 or just 1 stick of 512 with 1 stick of 256 and make 768
