some chip sets are incompatible with others, this may be a problem where the locations of the chip sets in the mother board are also incompatible, remove all the 16 mb chip sets and only install the 64 mb chip. turn your computer on and see if the initial boot see's the 64 meg there. if so try installing the 16 mb chip sets one at a time using different locations. start from one side and keep adding to that side if the extra meg is recognized during each boot up. if the 64 mb chip is not recognized change the location of the 64 mb chip until the computer recognizes it during a boot up sequence. then add the 16 mb chips. i did this in my computer except i was mixing 16 and 32 mb chip sets it works fine. ;-))

Bidder: Sounds like you got a version of a motherboard which has both simms (the 72 pins sticks) and dimms (the 168 pin sticks). I'll bet your pentium is a p166 or p200. I haven't had any luck mixing the two types of ram together. They say it can be done. You'll probably need to stay with one type or the other; which won't help you in this situation. To get 128 MB in simms you'll need either 2 - 64 mb simms or 4 - 32 mb simms. Not good when you have 4 - 16's now. Another alternative here is to get 2 - 32 mb simms and use with the 2 - 16's you have now which would give you 96 mb. If you can get the 64 mb dimm that you bought to work by itself in that slot (take all the simms out and test it) then you could take it back and get 1 - 128 mb dimm. Of course then you've got 4 -16's that you couldn't use but there is always Ebay. Once in awhile on some systems, Compaqs for one, you have to go into the bios to get the ram to be recognized. Be really careful in there if you do this. One other thought is that if your PC is a major brand - call them with the model # and they will tell you exactly what type and combos of memory will work. I hope this is all perfectly clear - LOL! Good luck on your trading - I'm pulling for you (and for me too!) Down more in the last month than I care to think about. But I do know that this market will come back - the overall economy is too good for it to die right here. Maybe this China thing will be the kick in the pants it needs right now.
