Ok guys, I know this subjet has nothing to do with CPU's but you have been a great help in the past and I am hoping you can help me with this one.
I just installed a stick of 128mb sdram into the old girl, SiSoft Sandra tells me the most I can install in 128mb sdram pc100....I am good so far....I installed the ram taking my 2 sticks of 32 out, booted the system and I now have only 32mb sdram, I installed a 32mb stick and I know have 63mb sdram. Someone mentioned that I should update my bios. I am running Award Molecular 4.51pg. Does anyone know why my system will not notice the 128 ram? And if I have to update the bios is there a web site that I can download it from?
Any help is great.

Usually you should go check the product page of your motherboard and they'll provide you with a set of instructions and the files required to flashing your bios and the commands to flashing your bios should be in your manual.
