I have a friend who has an older Packard Bell Multimedia 601, Pentium 166
with MMX. It has a Packard Bell BIOS v.1.23 and also lists Award plug + play
1.0. She is running Windows 98 SE. In "My computer" it said it only had 16 MB
of RAM. The mother board has 2 168 Pin DIMM slots. She bought 2 Kingston
Value RAM 32MB PC100 168 pin DIMM SDRAM chips. I removed her chip and put
these two in the slots. When I booted it up it still says it has 16 MB of
RAM. I could not see any place in the CMOS settings to tell it the correct
amount. The computer runs but it doesn't seem any faster and seems like it
really is only using 16 MB of RAM. Any ideas of why this occurs and how to
correct it would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
