GMan,
For your enjoyment and clarification ;-)
I have one stick of 512MB DDR PC2100 in the first slot.
My info is:
This is my new mobo:
http://www.ecsusa.com/K7S5A.cfm
and the Processor is an AMD Athlon Processor @ 1.15GHz
Athlon 4/MP/XP (Palomino) 1G+1.5-1.75V
I know the specs for the mobo say that a max stick can only be 128MB, but
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp?model=K7S5A+%28Rev+1%2EX%29&Detai
lMB=Y&cat=RAM
says that it will take a 512MB stick.
I run Windows 98SE.
Drive is in 9 partitions, jus' like you told me back a while ago ;-)
C:\ Windows 98 5GB
D:\saved for dual boot of Windows 2K when I get around to it... 5GB
E:\Program Files-98 5GB
F:\saved for dual boot of Program Files-2K 5GB
G:\2K &98 Swap File 1GB
H:\Email 20GB
I:\My Docs 20GB
J:\My DL Files 19GB
Give it your best shot....LOL
BTW, did you find the info you needed on that old mobo? I, or my neighbor,
have some very old spare parts if any of that will do any good. Also found a
renter here that is a new computer repairman, and tosses all KINDS of good
stuff in the dumpster!!!! I really need to go talk to him and tell him to
set it outside my garage first!

| NS,
| I'm glad you included all of this info in one place. While I know
that
| many modern mainboards will only support individual RAM sticks of 256MB
(or
| even less), that doesn't explain why Windows is only recognizing 96MB when
| 128MB is installed, even if that was all on a single module. I'll see
what
| I can find on this, but I suspect a serious problem with your Windows
| registry.
|
| How do you have the hard drive partitioned and what OS is running on
it?
| Also, please include the make/model of both the mainboard and memory
module
| you have installed, just in case there's an issue on either of them.
|
| Peace,
| G Man

| GMan,
| LOL...You asked offlist and I had to go, so I will state my case here. I
| STILL do not have my 512MB RAM recognized. (sorry Suzanne, but I have been
| gone so long, and hadn't had time to answer your wonderful help.)
|
| Here are the facts:
|
| I had all new mobo, processor, power supply, RAM to install.
|
| Everything works fine except the RAM. I had my neighbor guru tech come
over
| and he is at a loss also. When I boot, it shows:
| Checking NVRAM
| 524244KB OK
|
| Belarc Advisor shows:
| 81.88 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
| 60.19 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space
|
| CyberDrv CW058D CD-R/RW [CD-ROM drive]
| Generic floppy disk drive (3.5")
|
| Generic IDE hard disk drive (81.88 GB) -- drive 0
| 96 Megabytes Installed Memory
|
| Slot '0' has 512 MB
|
| Same with SiSoft Sandra.
|
| My neighbor brought over a 64MB stick of RAM, boot shows 64MB, system
shows
| 64MB. We put in 128MB, boot shows 128MB, system, shows 96MB.
|
| How the heck do I get Windows to see all the 512MB that the mobo seems to
| see?
