Hello, I recently bought a single sided SD stick rated at PC133. On the stick it says "8mb x 16", and it is supposed to be 128MB, but it is only detected by my MB as 64MB.

I have tried this Bios:

And the full size was detected. I experience random errors with that Bios so I had to revert, though.

Any advice?

Are you positive the RAM module is 100% fine?

No, I'm not really. Last time I had it working properly, though, I successfully ran the memtest86 test while using it, but later it caused corruption.

I'm just not sure whether it is the ram or the bios/mobo playing up.

Just an update:

I have just found and tried a "beta" bios here, and now the stick is properly recognized, and seems to work just fine.

Code: Select all

637WIQ06.BIN : (beta)
        1. fix support 128MB DIMM modules
Hopefully this will help anyone else who runs into this problem.
