According to the specs found online, my model only comes with 256. That's why I'm confused. haha

Here's the systems info from the ibm/lenovo website


Product: ThinkPad R51 2883-ELU [change]


Operating system: Windows XP [change]

Original description: P M 725, 256MB RAM, 30GB 4200rpm HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, Intel Extreme, 24x24x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD, Intel 802.11b/g wireless(MPCI), Modem(CDC), 10/100 Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, 6 cell Li-Ion battery, WinXP Pro

If you take out the 1GB stick and boot up, it reads 256MB ?? And when you put the old 256MB stick back in, it still reads 256MB ??

Sounds like something's wrong with the old 256MB stick. Or, possibly, it's using that extra 256MB for video memory, and not reporting it.

Hmmmmmm.......
