Question about 'Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM)'

I have a question about Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM):

I just upgraded my box from 768MB DDR to 1GB DDR RAM. Now, it's running slower than ever. It can hold up to 2 GB. And sometimes, when I'm scrolling down a explorer window with a lot of files, it takes forever to refresh. How can this be?

I am guessing you have 4 DIMM slots, and just added a fourth? Many motherboards can not supply enough power to run 4 DIMMs even though they have 4 slots. If you know the make and model of your motherboard, you might see if there are reviews for it on www.tomshardware.com. That's where I think I have read about this problem - I have not experienced it.
