Memory upgrade not recognized

by ian boothby . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

I’m baffled about an upgrade I’m doing.

The PC is a custom built Celeron P400 with a LEGEND.QDI BrillianX-1S/2K mobo (FSB 67mhz). It had 64mb PC100 in it which was being correctly reported.

I put 512mb of Crucial PC133 in its place, i.e. DIMM0, but it only reported 256mb. I then removed it and put 512Mb of Kingston PC133 in, but it then only reported 128mb. In either case, if I added the original 64mb PC100, it correctly adds it.

What am I doing wrong? Can I NOT put PC133 onto this mobo-I thought it was all backward-compatible??? Do I need to change settings in the Award 4.51 BIOS?
