hi i've havin RAM trouble! i used to have a 64Mb stick and a 128Mb stick both SDRAM both 133mhz and that gave me 192Mb. however i bought a stick of 512SDRAM 133mhz and put it in with the 128 but they won't combine to make 640! i am running windows XP so it should cope and i've tried switching the sticks round in there slots but no result! the bios isn't finding the ram either http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/mad.gif how can i fix this!! its not a problem that the ram has to be paired because it combined before!
thanks in advance guys!

If you install Just the new 512 stick does your Bios see it ?
Also what is the memory setting in your Bios?

The mobo might only support 512mb of ram...
