A while back I got some PC100 RAm from EBuyer.. was x2 128Mb 168 pin DIMMs, as the title says PC100. When I booted the machine it only counted 192Mb ( already had a 64Mb in the machine ).. so it was only counting hafl of what I had put in.. Tried all sorts of configurations but couldn't get it to work, so I sent it back. I managed to find a contact in the states for my motherboard and explained to them the problem.. they replied that my motherboard only supports "Low density" modules, the ones I had bought being "High Density". From what I can gather its something to do with the number of chips on the module?

Can anyone reccomend a supplier of PC100 "Low Density" DIMMs ?

I tried Crucial but they can't supply PC100, only 66Mhz.

dont have details of the motherboard with me, but the system is a P3 500..

Either one of the RAM was broke or the 128 wasnt compatable with the 64, did you try the 128's on their own.
