Motherboard only recognizes 128 of my new 512MB SDRAM
Hello,
I went through related messages in this group, but couldn't find the answer yet. Any help is very welcome! Here's my problem: I have a VIA® Apollo Pro133 chipset (mobo model 693-686A), with following characteristics mentioned in the manual: • A total of three 168-pin DIMM sockets (3.3V SDRAM types). • Memory size up to 768M Byte. • Supports SDRAM at 66/100/133MHz. • Supports Symmetrical and Asymmetrical DRAM addressing. • Banks of different DRAM types and depths can be mixed. Up until now, there was 2x32MB of RAM. I bought a 512MB SDRAM stick and added it to my system. Unfortunately, it only recognized 128 of the 512MB (so a total of 192MB; this is what the BIOS startup tells me). Even if I removed the old sticks and put only the new one in socket #0, I had 128MB of memory. I could accept the machine recognizing 256 (because it supports up to 768MB in 3 sockets), but 128MB seems very weird. This is (part of) what the CPU-Z program (system analyzer) tells me about my system: Module 0 SDRAM PC133 - 512 MBytes Module 1 Winbond Electronic SDRAM PC100 - 32 MBytes Module 2 Winbond Electronic SDRAM PC100 - 32 MBytes Where do things go wrong? |
