IEI Wafer 5820 - RAM detection bug
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 2:57 am
Okay I have the following 'biscuit' PC set up for web browsing (I use it so I don't need to power up my gaming rig to browse websites)
Wafer PC 5820 info
==================
BIOS Date: 09/02/02

BIOS Eval: WAFER-5820 BIOS V2.5 (09/02/2002)
Chipset: Cyrix Cx5530
Superio: Winbond 977F/AF rev 0 found at port 3F0h
CPU: Cyrix MediaGX MMX 233MHz

The PC works fine, but the problem is even though it allows me to 'use' the 256MB SODIMM...It will only effectively find 128MB?
Anyone with any ideas here?
