How much memory does Vista say you have? AFAIK installing the package you
installed only gives you 2048 MB of memory as indicated in the package part
number since the package contains two 1 MB dims.
Also I notice that your new memory is slower then your old memory since it
is 3200 memory and not 3700 memory.
