Or have I got something terribly wrong??

The sticks are labeled correctly. The were bought as a KIT. A 4 gig kit in which the package contains a matching PAIR of 2 gig sticks.

Ah I was assuming they were bought as a matched 8GB pair (2x4GB)

When you do get your new hardware installed please use these two tutorials to your (My System Specs) so we will know exactly what we are working with.

Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs

Yep Layback I did ask in post #2 and it is a bone of contention with me several just lately have been posting the OS only and it does make for heavy going.

I know you posted the request for system specs.

Your post either got missed or ignored so I thought I would give the request another try.

I was not criticising you Jack it just seems lately I cannot put a foot right, plus the issue of system specs does or is beginning to irritate me and I suppose I should just avoid those without them or stop posting at all.

I know it does gets irritating.
You will end up doing as I do. Ask a few time for system spec. If we don't get then I'm gone to another member needing help.

I did not take your post as criticizing me.
