If it states that you can update memory using more than 1GB memory modules then update, otherwise it might not be necessary to install the update.

Believe me I do this almost every day in my regular job. I have to do system updates on file servers.

Okay, I have placed the two x 1Gb ram chips in place of the existing two x 512 ram chips. The computer started up saying there has been a change in ram, and the properties state there is 2 gB ram total now.

So where does the Bios update thing come in. (you mentioned 9 out of 10 times it was a necessity.

And/Or, how do I do it, where do I find it?(Bios Update)
