Hi,
I've just wiped the hd and installed win98se and did all the security
updates, etc. on this aging warrior.
P2mms 233 CPU, 3 gig hard drive, 56K ISA modem, integrated sound, and video.
The system is rock stable and running like a champ, however....
it only has one memory slot in it, and when I put a 64 meg stick in it comes
up as 48 megs, and when I put a 128 meg stick in it comes up as 64 megs, and
when I put a 246 Meg stick in it comes up as 32 megs. hmmm.... The 64
and 128 meg sticks are PC100, and the 256 is PC133.
The lower readings are reported both by Aida32, and win98's system
information routine, and dxdiag so the mobo is reporting it wrong to all of
the softwares.
Any ideas on how to correct the reporting, and more importantly, is it
really only use 48 megs of the 64 meg stick, etc.?
Aida reports the video is a 1 meg video, so I can't figure out where the
rest is going.
Thanks for any help.
