Question: Dimension 4600 (Dell) RAM Problems? I am having a problem with my Dell 4600. It is XP Home Edition with SP2. It came with 256MB of RAM. I am trying to put 2 X 512MB= 1 GB sticks of DDR RAM in the computer. When I put them in, I am getting an error. The error reads: Alert! OS Install Mode Enabled. Amout of avaiable memory limited to 256MB. I am not sure what is going on here. I have tried them one at a time. There is just no luck. If you have an suggestions, please submit. If you have any websites, I will gladly visit them. (if they help me)
