Solve : Installed new RAM on old desktop - system does not acknowledge

1.	Solve : Installed new RAM on old desktop - system does not acknowledge all?
Answer» Hi- I am working on an old computer (AST 812 Advantage) from 1995. It has a 100 MHZ PROCESSOR, 0.85GB HD and (originally) 16 MB RAM. The o/s is W95a. It appears as though the BIOS is the latest version for this pc. I ordered 32 MB x 4 RAM as the system limit is 128 MB. The company has provided me with 64 MB x 4 ((IBM FRU P/N 42L0225) (SIMM)) and has told me that this is backwards compatible (they don't have 32 MB), therefore I thought that system properties would show 128 MB total, but it is now only showing 64 MB?! Please advise. Many Thanks, Tim
