Changed one 1 GB SODIMM (of two) for a 2 GB one, but my Asus EeeBox EB1501U still only sees 2 GB.

The computer is running Win7 x86 (from factory).

The specs says "max 4 GB".

How can one get the EB1501U to recognize all memory (i.e. 3 GB)?

UPDATE: I'm looking at the system in the BIOS right now, and it says "Installed Size: 3072MB Usable Size: 2560MB".

I.e. the added memory is recognized there, and there's nothing with the hardware that hides the smaller SODIMM module.

(The EB1501 has NVIDIA ION, hence the diff.)

Lacking exact specs on the DIMMs, is it possible there is a conflict in, say, clock speed or something that's causing the 1GB stick to not be recognized with the 2? If you put the original stick back in do you still have 2GB (aka, are you sure that stick is good?)

It's also possible that your board requires the larger stick to be in a certain slot; it's very unusual but I have seen it.

... and after (yet another!) restart Win7 sees the whole 3GB :-)
