laptop inspiron 6000 ram capacity

[cerpintaxt]

i have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop and i just replaced my 2 512 sticks of ram with 2 1gb sticks. but when i look and my system resources it says i still only have a gb of memory. is there a way that i can expand the maximum capacity or should i just put the 512 sticks back in and sell the 1gb.

Sounds like maybe one of your 1GB sticks is bad. Have you tried booting with only one stick at a time?
