Hate to say this, but if BIOS ain't seeing it, you can TRY to update your BIOS, but chances are that it ain't going to see the RAM. The issue might actually be that the RAM you are putting in is either a different speed or it could be "double sided" whereas your current RAM is "single sided" - or vice versa... Try booting the machine with only the new RAM and see if it's recognised...if not, then, well, um, you're shafted. stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ panic("mother..."); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/cpqarray.c
