Adding more RAM has a lot to do with the BIOS settings.Your computer might recognize the new RAM chips if the old RAM chips are removed.The BIOS chip is a memory chip.Any memory chip will do whatever it is told to do.This means that you can get the chip to function as a RAM or a ROM or both etc.but you have to access that level of chip function.It looks like the manufacturer sets the BIOS to be severely limiting.Adding more RAM will not make the computer run faster.

I would call IBM Support in Minnesota. I know that they are very good. 800-IBM-SERV OR 800-426-7378. Good Luck, Aloha

Are you sure that's a 64 bit version of the OS?

Sounds more like your running a 64 bit capable processor with a 32 bit OS.
