I have 2 512mb sticks
I looked in my bios and it says I have 787mb extended memory
what does that mean?

also I checked for viruses with many programs and I have not found anything

I used a program today and it says my cpu is running at 799mhz
I know for sure that I have a 2.0ghz amd turion
what would cause this?

You say you have no viruses. Was there any? or did you not find any?

As for you thoughs on RAM can you do a memory test? some linux distros have a memory test function there maybe other programs out there I am not aware of. You may want to get a light linux distro to test the memory.

- Let us know how it goes.
No I have not installed any updates

I think you will find that your video has been allocated the rest of the memory.
799mhz, I do not know! what program did you run?

If you have a live cd try running a memtest, usually shown as you boot from CD.

Can you access your hdd from the live cd?

can you find out what is being display for your system spec from the live cd?
I don't mind helping but please mark your thread as solved once the problem is sorted. If you figure it out tell us how you did it, don't just abandon your thread!
