I bought some SDRAM today (256/133).
Already installed were two modules: one 64 Mg, and one 128Mg.
For a total of 192.
First I removed the 64 module, and replaced it with the new 256.
This configuration didnt make it past the boot screen.
The next thing I tried was swapping the two (i.e. switching places, since some boards are picky about order)
This caused the computer to boot, but gave me 160 Megs as the total memory count, when 192 + 256 = 448.
I then tried the 256 alone, in both slots. No success.
Finally, I used the 256 and the 64 together. This combination booted. The problem is, when I checked the systems' properties, the total RAM registered as 96.
This makes no sense, since any 5th grader could tell you that
256 + 64 = 320.
What happened?
