No I tried 10.10 upgrade from 10.04 but reverted to 10.04 because 10.10
did not improve things.

It 10.04 that we have and are talking about now.


XP was happy with the 2gb but 10.04 is not or is it something else.

XP read the 2gb and now reads the 1gb.

10.04

mem Total 495 Used 386 free 109 buffers 15 cache 214

Will try the one stick, am up for any answer now.

Capacitors are I believe OK.
