I had purchased a new Palit Gt 240 DDR5 512mb from a member on other forum..
On Gpu-z it is showing less memory and shader clock and also directcompute is not enabled..
compare to GPU-z which I have downloaded from net...

I have also update my driver to latest version but it is showing same...

Everything is fine.

You have this card perhaps: Amazon.com: Palit nVidia GeForce GT 240 512M DDR5 DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card NE5T2400FHD51: Electronics

Ignore the earlier version of GPU-Z. It is also confusing between die size and number of transistors. (see they are exchanged)

I can't confirm this for your card. But I can tell you, even if it supported, it doesn't make any sort of difference.
