RAM Upgrade--But memory checks that aren't counting all the RAM

Greetings!

I recently purchased 128MB Of PC133SDRAM to bump up my system which allready had 64MB of PC100SDRAM. upon installation... i got no new acknowledgement of the new 128MBRAM.. only still 64MB. From here I swapped the 2 sticks.. and I would get 192... but windows would generate some BS Protection fault..
from here. i removed the 64MB stick and kept the 128MB in.. in which case all would work fine. Next i borrowed a stick of 64MB PC100 RAM from a friend... and this lil sucker wont be recognized at all.. in either of the slots.. and the RAM stays @ 128 regardless..
so basically.. i either have 128MB ram.. or 192 (and a crash before i can even load windows)...

thx for the help..
 
What FSB are you running at?

Go into your BIOS and set the CAS delay to 3 and not 2. Then run with both modules installed.
 
Also,
depending on the quality of the ram you have, mixing PC-100 and PC-133 at the same time can sometimes cause errors.

It is usually a good rule of thumb to stick with one speed.
