Mainboard EP40212 Memory problem

Hi,

I have an EPOX EP40212 motherboard on which there is 92 Mb RAM, (3x32)

I tried various combinations with 128, 64 or 32 Mb SDRAM, but it seems that
it is limited.

For example, a single 128Mb leads to 64Mb only available. Is there some
jumper to configure ?
I can't find the manual of this MB, even on the EPOX site...

The are never jumpers for that. What you have encountered, no doubt, is the
motherboard's inability to work with higher density ram modules. Try using
two 128mb sticks that have 8 chips on both sides. That may work and get you
to 256mb for xp to function properly.
