I have 3 brand new pc 133 128Mb sticks of Kingston RAM. Whether I'm running at pc133 or pc100, it only recognizes 128megs or ram. If I take one out, leaving 2 sticks, it still only recognizes 128megs. I have the released 1003 bios. Here are the system specs:

Intel p3 800e @ 800Mhz
3 - 128Meg pc133 Kingston cas3
GeForce 2 GTS 32 Meg agp
Pioneer 10x DVD
IBM 40gig hd
SB Live Value
Linksys 10/100 nic

Thanks,

Erro

Are you sure the stick are seated well? Maybe you zapped a couple of them with static while taking out of the bag / handling?

Are your sticks of RAM ECC SDRAM? The i815 chipset doesn't like ECC RAM and tends to detect all sorts of strange amounts.

They are non ECC and are unbuffered. I know that all 3 work as I've tried each one separately with success.

Try setting the SDRAM Data Driving mode to Strong in the BIOS.
