SDRAM 64MB Memory Chip and P5A Motherboa

by mrc.hmt . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

I’ve got an interesting problem that is driving me INSANE.

I have a 64MB PC100 SDRAM Chip with the little SPD chip on it which is “supposed” to tell the computer that its 64MB. The motherboard (Asus P5A BIOS rev 1007.a) reads the chip as 128MB on startup and locks up tighter than Fort Nox. I read somewhere that if you disable the SPD detect or something like that in the BIOS it will show up as it is supposed to. This is extremely odd because in another machine it comes up properly as 64MB.
HELP!
