I have just put together a Celeron700/AOPEN AX3S system.

 I initially thought that the 2x64 meg PC133 RAM sticks (PQI brand) that I
had purchased were dead - so I went out and bought another 1x64 meg stick of
a different brand.(Hyundai)

Now I realise that the original 2x64 sticks were OK after all (finger
trouble on my part -- blush, blush!!!) and they work fine. They are
recognised by the bios as a total of 128Meg.

But when I put the third (Hyundai) stick in the third slot, the BIOS only
recognises 64Meg total. I know that this third stick is OK ---so?????

Any advice please?

Thanks
