Computer doesnt read all the memory

I recently got this Gateway 2000 comp given to me, its a 166 Mhz, not too impressive, but there is a 64 MB RAM card in the motherboard, but when the Computer loads up, it only reads 16 MB Ram, and i know the card is 64 cuz ive tried it in another comp b4 and it says 64, ive even put a 128 in it, and it only reads 32 MB, so can anyone help plz?

Thanks

You may need double sided RAM for that baby.

Cheers!

Welcome to TechIMO!

That means your memory module is too high density for that system. I believe what you have is a 168 pin sdram and your system there uses 168 pin edo ram. The clue is that it sees 1/4 of the drams.
