I don't know that I would say 4 GB is useless, just that you can only use 3 of the 4 GB installed. It could be worse, if you go by the service manual for that model, Aspire M1610/Veriton M261 Service Guide
it is only supposed to support up to 2 GB total (2x1). Guess they uppped it in a bios update for those that got one with those specs. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me

Easy answer, do you have that setting in the bios of any of those? And on any of them running with 4 GB of ram (64 bit OS only), what does it show as installed/usable? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me
