128mb ram read as 64mb?????????????????
I have an old mobo, it only supports dimm ram max 128mb each slot, with three slots total. I have in bank one a 128mb chip, in bank two a generic 32mb, and in bank three a new 128mb chip.
I install the new chip and for some reason the pc reads it as a 64mb ram chip instead of 128mb chip.
I'm gonna experiment with the placement of the chips ie, their order on the banks. Is there a reason for the chip read at only half it's 128mb?
Here is Sandra Diagnostic:

the diagnostic insists that i have 4 memory banks and 4 chips, the two 16mb is actually only one 32mb, I'm guessing cause of it's old and most likely a piece of crap.
Any Ideas?
