Recently removed the two 128MB (16x840) PC133M
KBYTE 12 50319 RAM DIMMs from slots 1&2 in my
System Tiger 970533 1.8gHz P4, 400 mHz Bus speed
computer with Windows 98se O/S, which "Systems
Properies" correctly reported as 256MB total RAM

and installed a new RK-Byte 256MB-DDR PC2100
and a new Kingston-PC21000DDR/256MB RAM sticks
in the 184 DIMM slots;

which unfortunely "System Properies" only
reports as a total of 480MB instead of the
anticipated 512MB total RAM when booted ON

Installed singly in slot 3 or slot 4,each
only reports as 224MB

What hocus pocus foreplay am I missing please?

Ciao, Ack.
