Hi - I have a problem installing additional memory in my Compaq Deskpro
EN (Windows 98)- it had one 128MB stick, I have just added a 256 MB
stick. The Compaq configuration record show Compaq memory = 384Mb and
Windows memory = 128Mb. Windows system info shows 128Mb. The POST only
sees 128 Mb. The CMOS setting also show 128Mb and there doesn't seem
to be any way to change it. Compaq memory diagnostics see 384Mb and the
memory tests pass.
I tried swapping the stick around. The system won't boot with the new
256 stick
in the first slot - the bios just beeps at me.
I also tried upgrading the bios from 686P2 v2.11 to 686P2 v3.14 - no
joy.
I have a 1 GHz Celeron CPU which I think is non-standard - maybe that
has something to do with it?
Any suggestions?
