| 73031 | 2002-08-21 12:32:00 | Have since bought some SDRAM133 128mb, but my computer dosn't seem to recognise the amount of ram and continues to say in system properties that it has only 32 mg. It seems to run a little faster but casheman and rambooster play up because it cant tell that it has 128mb. Even at boot up, it only clocks over saying 32mb available Is there settings some where I have to change be it in the bios or else where. any theories would be much appreciated regards Jace |

Does your system handle more than 32mb RAM DIMMs? Being a P200 I'd think that it might handle 128mb, but only with 4 32mb DIMMs inserted or the like - it probably can't handle one 128mb one. Check your motherboard manual or see if you can find some info online about your motherboard that might tell you how much it'll handle. Mike. |

| 73033 | 2002-08-22 04:13:00 | If its SD-RAM That you'vejust bought, try (If you have them) Removing and older EDO RAM Chips, I had the same problem, it would only pick up half of one of my SD-RAM Chips and my 32MB EDO-RAM! I removed the EDO-RAM and it picked up both 64MB SD-RAM Chips!!!! Try it out Chilling_SIlence |

| 73034 | 2002-08-22 05:38:00 | Not sure about what the others have said, but have you pushed the new rams stick fully in (so the clips click shut) I find that you usually have to exert quite a bit of pressure to seat them fully BALDY :-) |
