Default help me please

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

U cant overclock a pentium 1 they suck! Just get a new one when did you buy that in 1970?

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!
