If they are PC133 they are likely double density. Do they have chips on one
side or two. If just one, they are the wrong sticks. The symptom is accurate
for the problem.

Actually, I'm not sure.

They are Kingston chips. But they are 133 chips. Told they will still

work
in a 100mghz board, which they seem to do. System runs fine, just only
recognizes the first 384mb of memory.

Actual Kingston part number is KVR133X64C2/256 modules. Will have to do a
Kingston site search to see if they are single density.

Thanks for the info.

Did you make SURE you got the older single density sticks as suggeted in

the
original reply? Newer double density sticks won't work.

My 5600 has 768MB, so I know it works.

Well, it wasn't 3x256. Looks like the 3x128 or 384 is the max.

Bought
3
256 sticks and no luck. I think I have the latest BIOS, but have you

ever
tried to find an update? Impossible.

$280 down the drain unless I can return.
