It Works . . .

Yes, the RAM all works now. A new driver for the Wireless Interface Card did the trick. It is actually a Marvell driver, but that's what NetGear uses. They over lay their name on it but it is the Marvell driver. In my case it is version 1.0.0.53.

I formally had version 1.0.0.52. You never know what corrects the problem, it can be BIOS or a driver. In this case it was a driver. But tons of people had trouble with Vista and NetGear compatibility. I was one of them. I have been through three, no four, different drivers. The original one and then three different Marvell drivers. The last one did the trick and now the Dell has its full capacity memory. James Dunn will no longer have memory limitations on his games (I don't know that he did have any but for sure not now). Might make things work faster too.

We have a new monitor coming in - a 23 incher. That ought to max out things - no longer have to scroll across to see what is on the other edge.
