Well, I installed two memory boards of 2 GB each, and left two of the old 1GB ones there, for a total of 6 GB. The BIOS sees it. I installed mint17, 64bit (Mata, and Quiana), and it looks beautiful, but I don't know how to tell if it is recognizing all of the memory. And now I have another problem (or maybe it's related). Sometimes (and it seems to be when I am changing from one program to another), the screen suddenly goes into a pattern That looks like a pattern of repeated words in an unknown font and language. I'm guessing that nVidea graphics on this older machine isn't handling well some setting in mint17.
Any ideas or suggestions?
