What is being reported when you boot your computer on the bios screen? It could be that you have double-sided ram and your motherboard only supports single sided in that particular dimm slot. If your bios post screen is only reporting 256, change dimm slots (I am assuming that this is a single dimm you are talking about) and see if that helps.

Good luck - check your motherboard manual - I bet that there is some specification concerning double vs. single sided dimms in certain dimm slots. |

Damn - does the bios report it as 256 as well? If so, then i'd be taking it back to the store. |
