Hello there,

I need help setting up my new RAM. I have 3 new stick of; pc133/100, 256meg, 32x4 High Density Configuration, 168 pins non-ECC, 7.5ns timing, 3.3V unbuffered.

My motherboard is an Abit BH-6, pentium 3 450MGh, running window ME. The user manual says that, it support single and double density DIMMS. My bios as been flash to the lates update that Abit will give me.

It only reconises the 3 stick as 128x3=384meg.

Memory is normally rated at either 100 or 133 MHz, but not at both speeds.
It's possible that each stick is only 128MB.
Who made the memory?

Yeah, it sounds like those modules are only 128 each...and you are going to have problems running Windows ME with that much ram if you can get it to work...9x/ME have problems with 512mb+ of ram...
