Program: Unicore Chip Detect v0.72 2000.03.10
BIOS Date: 08/09/97
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 08/09/97-i430VX-2A59GF0bC-00
BIOS Eval: Version 1.08FF11
Chipset: Intel Triton 430VX rev 2
Superio: SMC 669 rev2 found at port 3F0h

The I430VX Chipset has many problems with SDRAM - max is a 32MB stick - have a look into the FAQ for an explanation .
From your Biosversion 108FF11 it's a VT-502 - please doublecheck markings written onto the Board !!!
If it's a VT-502 then the latest Bios is here :
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/bios/motherboards/ ... -502/int13

Wow !!! I430VX Board with a 2/99 Bios - never seen that before .
This Bios should support up to 32GB and I'm sure Rainbow will patch this for up to 64GB .

Obviously you haven't seen DTK 10/26/1999-i430FX-2A59CD1JC-00
