How can you tell if the memory upgrade is working??

 

I have a Tecra TE2300 and the specs say it can be upgraded to 2 gigs of ram.  I had 1.2 gigs of ram installed preivously.  I just bought a new 1 gig stick of PC2100 266MHZ of RAM.  I bought the new 1 gig stick based on the information that was on the sticker of the 256mb stick of ram that came with my computer. 

 

I installed the new 1 gig stick and ran BELARC ADVISOR, the scan shows the that I have 1024 of ram in each of the two memory slots.  Yet when I check the properties under my computer is only shows 1.2 gigs as well as the Belarc scan.  Which is what I had, when I had  a 256mb and 1 gig stick installed. I went to crucial.com and their test showed 2 gigs.  But one stick was PC2700 and the other was PC2100.  

 

So how can I tell if my ram available and being accessed is 1.2gigs or 2gigs? And is there any know driver or software patch to make it work at the 2 gigs?

 

Please help...

 

Thanks
