Okay I have tried to install the new RAM, and when I loaded my computer, it said that the memory decreased to like 64mb, I think it should be compatible, if it isnt Ima be so mad since I spent $ 28 on it, I researched it but I have no idea what Im doing, I just tried to match it up as best as I can, lol.
Now I updated my flash bios to the most current version for my I guess bios chip model, or motherboard model, idk
Okay so I was wondering if someone can help me?
