    In any case, you should avoid enabling maximum memory. With a setting of 4 GB you won't be able to use any remapped ram.

    Hmm, I wonder, the msconfig did show all of the RAM and so did Resource Monitor. If the Dimm does not work, it should not show the RAM in the first place. But maybe it is not fully functional. That could be possible.
