the reason the Wllst only recognizes 1/2 the RAM is that it's setup for only PC66 RAM, and you've likely got either PC100 or PC133 chips.
You need PC66 RAm for it, or you will very likely experience crashes and instability. THis is not ALWAYS the case--soome later revision Wallstreets had multiple clock ability on the RAM buss, and would talk to PC100. However, having worked on hundreds of Wallstreets, I still cannot ascertain a method or logical sequence of which ones definitely WILL or WILL NOT do PC100.. So my recommendation is to buy PC66 chips to make sure your machine will be stable.
