Thanks For Help

The only thing that can help is a BIOS update. A bit of Googling turned up some BIOSes here. If you still have problems after using the BIOSes from that page, try asking at Wim's BIOS Forums at http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/index.php - if the guys there can't help you, no-one can.

You'll probably find its a chipset issue in that it can only handle 128megs per slot. Try with a 256 and just a single 128 in there and see what you get. I woundnt be suprised if it only reads 256. |

A BIOS update is your only real option. and this states that you can use 768meg of memory....http://www.active-hardware.com/engli...rd/ms7070s.htm this may mean a later BIOS will work.

Your BIOS most certainly cannot address more than 384MB. Physically, your motherboard may be able to handle more RAM but as already mentioned it will need a BIOS update. Quote:
Then again the 440BX chipset on the motherboard cannot read most double sided DIMMs so expect it to read only single sided DIMMs or one of the two sides of the DIMM only.

Ah, I never actually owned a 440bx based board. I had a few friends that had them and came to me with there issues with them but at that time i was firmly in the amd camp. (K6 233 then a K6-2 500 then TBird 1G) I believe the I810 chipset is even worse for memory compatibility. It's not just number of banks it can have problems with tho it can be density as well
