Yep, it's pretty much like the title says. You remember that I've got this memory expansion card some time ago that was supposed to be a 36MB, but would end up only being a 20MB? I was able to get a full refund from the seller, since there was obviously a PCB missing from the card, hence only 20MB. So, at about the same time I got the refund, I found an auction for a 40MB card. After some bidding fight, I won the auction (no, I won't tell you the final price because I'm not comfortable with it, but I really needed more memory). So, I've just received this card this morning. Imagine my joy when, upon opening the box, there was a big sticker on one of the chip that says "48MB". Wow! Could I have been lucky enough and got a 48MB (48MB + 8MB onboard = 54MB)??? Sadly, no. After inserting the card and powering the 2300c, I found out that the Duo is only seeing 40MB "total". I launched Apple System Profiler, and indeed, the computer sees a 32MB expansion card only. So, what does that mean? Is my 2300c limited in some ways? The card was specifically guaranteed for a 2300c (that was the only Duo model they were offering a warranty). What's wrong? Is there any jumper or something I need to set on the Duo in order to access that extra memory? Sure, the sticker might be there by mistake, and although I haven't contacted the seller yet (I turned to this great list first), it seems that they knew this card was a 40MB, although if they didn't check it, there might have been a mistake somewhere. Anyway, beside contacting the seller, any idea of what could be wrong? And no, this card doesn't seem to miss anything. There is a second PCB on the top of the one with the main connector, and everything seems to be in order. BTW, that's a Microtech card. Should I try to contact them to see if something can be done?
