problem with new DIMM
I recently bought a 64 Mb DIMM and installed it on my Intel i430VW
motherboard.
First I moved my existing pair of 16 Mb EDOs to the 2-3 slots and put in
the
64 Mb DIMM, too. When I rebooted, the BIOS reported 16Mb, cat
/proc/meminfo
agreed. I removed my EDO memory, and both BIOS and meminfo still
reported
16Mb. Removing the DIMM and putting the pair of 16Mb EDOs caused the
BIOS and
meminfo to report the expected 32Mb. I guess I got a 16Mb DIMM by
mistake, or,
perhaps, a bad one or something, but I thought I'd see if I'm
overlooking
something dumb before I take the DIMM back. Am I missing something?
