Well it shows I have 512 so don't know why the specs say it
will only will accept 384 megs?? My Control Panel under System
Properties shows 512.0MB Ram.
Says I have a Genuine Intel Pentium (r)II Processor
So how do I find out the upgrade limits of the motherboard?

You are getting closer now. We know your system will accept
no more than
3 - 128 RAM chips totalling 384 megs of RAM.
What we STILL do not know is what the upgrade limits are of
the
motherboard in terms of replacing the CPU.
