Modern RAM DIMMs are actually made up of lots of smaller RAM chips.
One of them possibly has a fault.
Shut your system down completely and reseat the DIMM(s), with the
usual anti-static warnings.
If that does not fix the problem, buy some new RAM - it is cheap, and
XP would be much, much happier with 1 to 2 Gigs. how much you should
get is a function of what you do with the computer.

I am using a computer that has these specs:
2.4Ghz Acer
Win XP Pro
512MB RAM
149GB HD
3.5" 1.44 FD
Now, When I click on 'System', in the 'Control Panel', it
consistently tells me, there is only 504MB RAM. That says to me,
that something is wrong with the RAM but, it isn't keeping the
computer from running so, I would love some feedback on this.
