Installed RH 9 on another puter and the bios and Linux doesn't recognize all the ram that is installed. I have a 128 meg and a 256 meg stick of sdram. It's only recognizing a little less than half the amount of ram installed. Pretty much know I'll have to update the bios, but what I can't find is the right ASUS mobo on the ASUS site. The serial number I could find on the mobo is AS97127F. Looked all over the ASUS site for this and couldn't find a match. Any help on this? I'm new to Linux too so I really haven't figured everything out on the OS yet either, and I'm not a hardware tech either, but I do like tearing stuff apart and seeing what's what, and what I can't fix I have 20 rounds of 7mm armour piercing that I can unload into it and take care of any problem.
I'll keep looking in the meantime so thanks in advance for any help.

the evil dark one on my left shoulder sugests that you may want to destroy ofending computer parts in truly novel and entertaining ways angel on right shoulder states that doing so could get you hurt and that you should not do this at home and if you are insane enough to try this you should talk to the fire department first evil dark one tells angel to shut up.... an offending member may be destroyed efectivly by mounting a brik of black cats on a cArd table (preferably in the middel of a wide empty lot ) proceed by tieing the main fuse to an m80 by means of red bricks such as can be found in your avereage hard ware store build a short wall around setup then place offending component on alter of destruction douse in lighter fluid then coat in gun powder ( this may be found at gun supply stores) for added efect remove half of the stem from bottle rockets to bring fuses close to conflagration then mount randomly in screw holes in bord. angel tell me that I am not responsable for anything that you and that this string is for entertainment purposes only. may god have mercy on your soul...COG

On some motherboards when you use mismatched memory sticks the order of the sticks makes a difference. Try reversing the position of the two memory sticks and see what happens.

On some motherboards the memory must be paired, i.e. two 256 meg sticks followed by two 128 meg sticks will work but a single 256 meg followed by a single 128 meg stick will not work. If you can borrow another memory stick try putting two of the same size in the first two slots and see what happens.

If I can't come up with a better plan by the fourth of July I may go with that.

Even with only one stick in it's only seeing half the amount of ram.
