Intel i815 chipset limitation. Check the chart: http://users.erols.com/chare/chipsets.htm

thank U..

a note i found: The Intel 815 chipsets can support 3 double-sided DIMMs when running the RAM at 100MHz, but only 2 double-sided DIMMs when running it at 133MHz. In order to run the system memory at 133MHz, the front side bus must run at 133MHz. Conversely, you *can* run system memory at 100MHz with the FSB at 133MHz. Also, memory can be run at 100MHz (but not 133MHz) when using a 66MHz FSB.

do you think this refers to my i815? the reason i ask is even though i have PC133 DIMMS in there, it states the memory clock is running at 100Mhz during boot-up.

just wondering if there was a way to trick it to use the 3 256MB PC133 DIMMS i have...

but it looks like i am out of luck... what do you think?

The i815 supports 512MB in total - more than 512MB is not possible in any way !
