help me please

m0nk3ys1ms · 03-09-2006, 02:39 AM

I started a thread a few days ago, and ive gotten nothing so i will try again.
I have a Packard Bell M415, with 24MB of RAM which I am trying to upgrade. I have a Double-Sided 128MB PC66 piece I got out of an NEC which I am working on putting in. After installing it, the system boots, but in system properties, it only shows 32MB RAM. If there is anyone of you out there that can help me please do so. I also updated the BIOS recently.

System Specs:
PB M415
PB-810 Mobo
Pentuim I MMX 166mHz (can someone tell me how to overclock this?)
Windows 98 SE (OEM Version)
v1.25 BIOS

i really dont need your shit bud, im only 14 and im working on my first build. i happen to have 2 practically new computers.

Your motherboard only supports 32mb of ram. so it reads the 128MB as 32MB, kindof like my old PIII comp only supports 512MB even though I have 640MB in it. Calm down, and watch your language!

m0nk3ys1ms · 03-09-2006, 03:16 AM

a sticker on my pc says it supports 128MB

StrangleHold · 03-09-2006, 03:59 AM

It will only read a 32mb stick, bet it has 4 simms slots for ram, 4x32=128
