If the BIOS will not find it, there is nothing you can do - you have a 'broken' motherboard that will not support DIMMs with more than 1 row / DIMM and that 64mb one does have 2 rows. Get a second 32mb DIMM or change that 64mb one to a single row one. I'd suggest getting a second 32mb, because they are cheaper and your not going to put more than 64mb on that mb anyways. --j -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: system does not recognize 64 MB RAM
I know it is not linux. A boot parameter is not required until you
exceeds 64 megs of RAM. I would say becuase your BIOS does recongize
it, Check your motherboard manual. Some boards don't support over 32meg
DIMMS! I know it's annoying. My board is like that and has only one
slot. (Plus a few simm slots >o]). The other possibilty... DIP
Switchs!! Yippe

system does not recognize 64 MB RAM
I know this is not a debian problem but maybe someone has an idea: Today I replaced the 32 MB SDRAM chip in my computer with a 64 MB SDRAM chip but the system - starting with the BIOS! - only recognizes 32 MB. I tried all of the three DIMM banks, had a look at the BIOS options but all without success. I also checked for BIOS updates that might be known to fix this but nothing. The board is an Elitegroup P5TX-A with Intel TX chipset. The 64 MB RAM chip works well in another computer. Any ideas how to get things working?
