After installing a second 512 (now 1024 total) ddr mem
stick in my computer, I began getting the "out of memory"
error. System BIOS has no problems.
I went to the knowledge base and I understand what the
problem is but the solutions don't make sense.
-If I go to the system.ini and force windows to just
recognize 512 instead of all 1024 so I don't run out of
memory addresses, does that mean the system will never
utilize all 1024 of memory?
-Other than modifing the system.ini or vcache, is there
another solution?
-Is my only solution to using all 1024 upgrading to 2000
or XP?
The original reason behind the memory increase was because
I'm about to transfer VHS/PVR stored programs to DVD and
wanted to system to have enough memory (currently running
w/AMD 2000 processor). Just looking for a way to have
everything running the way it should.
Thanks.

This rather depends on what you mean by "just recognize 512...". If you mean
that you have limited vcache as set out in MS KB 253912 - ""Out of Memory"
Error Messages with Large Amounts of RAM
Installed" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=253912), then no, that does NOT
mean the system, or more correctly your applications, will never use all of
your memory.
