No problem, you can buy me a Flemish red next time I'm in Bruge.OK .. let me know ...
BTW I am still intrigued by this 1Gig/2Gig max memory issue ... I rechecked the SIW data (System Information for Windows)
The chipset is an Intel 852GM and the SIW data also confirm max mem = 1024M being 2x 512M ..
Intel normally lists memory capacity as per memory slot, rarely a total memory capacity.
Hmmm ... I wonder .. not by reading the specific specs of the chipset .. there is always a mention of maximum addressable memory with all "slots" populated, never a mention of a "per slot" (which would make little sense in a chipset spec given some flexibility in the final computer achitecture ..)
from the datasheet ... http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/252407.p
Intel 852GM/852GMV GMCH System Memory Interface
The Intel 852GM/852GMV GMCH System Memory controller directly supports the following:
One channel of PC1600/2100 SO-DIMM DDR SDRAM memory
DDR SDRAM devices with densities of 128-Mb, 256-Mb, and 512-Mb technology
Maximum system memory support of two, double-sided SO-DIMMs (four rows populated) with
up to 1 GB memory
Variable page sizes of 2-kB, 4-kB, 8-kB, and 16-kB. Page size is individually selected for every
row and a maximum of 16 pages may be opened simultaneously
Table 1. DDR Memory Capacity
Technology Width System Memory Capacity
128 Mb 8 256 MB
256 Mb 8 512 MB
512 Mb 8 1 GB
128 Mb 16 256 MB
256 Mb 16 512 MB
512 Mb 16 1 GB
So I wonder if there is actually somone with this G40 chipset config that runs the machine with 2Gig memory 
FWIW
