can'tuse + 128mb sdram - bios settings?

[Eeyore]

Eeyore, I"m not savy enough to know how cache memory relates to ram, or really even what cache memory is, beyond knowing that this AMD K6 3D apparently had 64 kilobyte primary memory cache, and that each of the three DIM slots will run up to 128 mb of ram (ie from 1-128mb stick or 1-256mb stick) and will add the ram from the slots together too, up to 128mb.

[I]The motherboard has 512K of 5 ns cache'.

It may be what I referred to. In the manual on page 8, L2 Cache is listed as "512/1mb". You apparently have 512kb installed. That probably gives each slot a 128mb capacity. If you upgrade to 1mb cache, you would have the full 256mb per slot capacity.

Apparently the cache provides a number of addresses for the memory to use. The more cache, the more addresses and thus the ability to handle more memory.
