Help
I have an Eepc netbook, a great little companion to my others and dam near runs everything i can find a way to install on it. Anyway, it runs windows XP sp3, with a 1.6ghz atom processor. I took out the 1 gb stick and put in a new 2gb stick, and it runs fine. Seems to run quicker, but when i open system info it says i only have 1gb physical memory. I checked services and the memory isnt limited to 1gb, but i am running /PAE. I just want to be able to know if its working right. Any help is apprrciated. I am fairly competent with computers and can follow detailed instructions.

OK, thx for the replys, i got it fixed by updating windows. Seems I had a root-kit on my computer left over from an old virus, was able to get rid of it and update windows, and poof, now systeminfo shows 2gb
