To answer your questions
- the CMOS config doesnt have an option to edit the meory settings so
I assume it supposed to auto-detect it

it didnt recognzie my system

Have you checked Compaq/HP website? What CPU? Have you tried with only
the new memory, if fail to boot, memory faulty or incompatible.
