I'm trying to upgrade an old Gateway P5 133 with more memory. It just has the original 16M, not enough to really run Win 98.  Gateway web site doesn't recognize the S/n nor list that model. Their techs only spec SDRAM PC 100 (up to 64M) with no other specs. I tried several SDRAM sticks that won't work. But a 64M NEC stick works, but only 16M is recognized. So I get a total of 32M with the original RAM in place. Why doesn't the computer recognize the whole 64M? What other specs do I need to get the correct memory sticks?
