Hi, has anyone figured out if there's a bios setting that will allow all three banks of memory to be recognized if 256Mb PC100 modules are installed in each slot? The BX chipset should recognize 1GB. My 770Z works fine with three sticks of 256Mb installed, but only 512Mb is recognized by the system. Thanks for any help...

The max you can use is two low density pieces in the two expansion slots and one 128MB in the hidden "system" slot. Or at least that is the plug and play way of doing it, I don't know of any BIOS hacks by using the inbuilt hex editor to make 3 256Mb work. I'm sure you have the latest 770Z BIOS installed right?
