BIOS Type: American Megatrends licensed to Intel

BIOS Date: 02/20/01

BIOS ID: 51-2300-000000-00101111-030199--CB810

OEM Sign On: Don't know!! How can i find this out??

I've basicallly bought 3 different speeds and sizes of memory in an attempt to get them to work on my pc, but it fails to even boot up when i put any of them in.

Tried the memory in a slightly older pc and it works :evil:

Only thing i can think of is that its something to do with the BIOS, but don't know what. Could it need an upgrade??

Currently got 1 x 64MB RAM @ 133 Mhz (yes, i know its old) and trying to stick a 128MB @ 100 Mhz.
