Greetings,

My motherboard can't recognise the Kingston RAM 256 MB RAM, it only registers the RAM as 128 MB.

My motherboard is DFI PA61 and the RAM is KVR133X64C3/256 single side RAM.

Would appreciate if anyone can help.

Thanks.

Most likely you need double sided (16 chips) 256MB module, or two 128MB 8-chip modules.

Thanks, I know it can recognise single side 128 MB RAM as I am having one in the system currently.

I checked the Kingston website, the board actually supports 256 MB RAM.

Do you think updating the BIOS help?

Thanks.

No. You need double-sided 256MB chips.

i mean, is that possible?

If it's a Bios problem a new Bios should be able to cure that but not if it's a chipset limitation
