I have tried swapping the modules over and this reults in only 128mb showing up (as well as a decreased performance!) I have tried my RAM modules in my girlfriends laptop and it shows up as 480mb which it showed on mine until recently.<BR /><BR />Its as if one slot will only accept a module of 128mb when it is actually 256.<BR /><BR />My laptop is a Sony Vaio K215b and im running windows Xp.<BR /><BR />Many thanks to anyone who can help. <BR /><BR />Oh, and by the way, I tried my friends 2x256mb RAM modules in my notebook and got the exact same problem.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Nov 2006 08:19:07 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/ram-problem-k215b/m-p/48395#M86833 fish7137 2006-11-21T08:19:07Z Re: RAM problem K215b https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/ram-problem-k215b/m-p/48398#M86834 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>When you say it showed up until recently... this suddenly happened?
