Yes I recognise this problem, I've got it?
So if anybody can help.
I have a SIS2 Pentium motherboard Model MS-5109. Ver 1.3
With an AMI BIOS.
I have 2 x 32Mb SIMMS and 2 x 16Mb SIMMS, I've just added the the 2 x
32's.

Dos 6.22 and win95 and winNT 3.51 do not see any more than 65Mb's
The BIOS reports all 96Mb's
The 32Mb SIMMS are have 24 chips on them, I've been told that these
may cause the problems running that number of chips,  I think it my
cause more of a problem if I was to uses them in a Pentium Pro chip
which is going to be my next upgrade.

Can anybody help, do I need to return the 32Mb simms and get one's
with less chip on them? Or is there any other solution or cause of
this problem.

Thanks in Advance.
