My system came with 3gigs of dual channel ddr2 5300 memory. Today I removed 2 512mb sticks and added 2gb x2 sticks of Crucial Dual Channel memory for a total of 6gigs. Windows reports it fine.
A few things;
1-unable to run the Windows Experience Index. I get an error that windows is reporting an error somewhere in the driver etc...
2-Seems to take longer to boot. Previously under 2mins,now over 3 but then on subsequent boots, boots normally. 3-Played Gears of Ware to test and it lagged quite a bit.
Currently running a mem test to make sure none of the memory is defective. Tomorrow I will remove the stock memory and see how it runs.
Do you think theres a compatibility issue w/the stock memory and the new sticks?
