How much Ram for Biostar TVD1212B Mobo

[JRHOG]

Thanks Yoda74 for my other topic responses.

I can't find any info on this motherboard. Does anyone know how much ram I can put in? It currently has 2 16mb 72-pin SIMM's. I tried a 128mb DIMM and it still only shows 32mb. Bootup also shows SDRAM in DRAM (0)? There are 4 SIMM slots and 2 DIMM slots. Running 95b, Pentium 166. I should change my handle to "Clueless in Ohio".

W/95/98/98se and me are not desighned to work with more than 512MB of RAM
i think there is a work around I believe with a bios upgrade?? this probobly won't help a whole lot but I gave it a shot. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

Simms will not work with Dimms, take the simms out and try just using the dimms. And see what your ram count is.

I still only got 32mb with just the 128mb DIMM. I can't find a manual or any other info on this motherboard. Thanks for the posts, please keep the coming.

Try here (http://www.biostar-usa.com/museum/MBManuals/8500TVD/8500tvdmanual.htm) for some info and I wouldn't try to go beyond 64MB...it looks like it may be an Intel 430 chipset and they can't cache more than that without problems...it also looks like there may be a 64MB limit per slot.
