Hello.
I have just upgraded my system, to a dual-celleron on an Abit BP6, and have
got the same problem. My prior system was an AMD K6-3, and it had no
difficulties detecting the 256 Mb. I have tried to flash my BIOS - and wow -
now I have my 256 Mb back again, at least I thought, because now it will not
boot to windoze, so back again (my daughter can't accept beeing unable to
play on the computer).
I have tried to use the append="MEM=256", but it corrupts my system.
So in my case there is a clear link between 'missing' RAM and BIOS.
