Hm. Installed a 128 meg sdram sodimm from crucial along side the original 64 megs of edo. My vivante se will see:

128 + 64 = 128
128 alone = 128
64 alone = 64

I've tried changing slots and doing without fast boot, etc. but I can't seem to get to 192 of recognized ram. Checked through the original literature and there's language of ram all the way up to 256 megs. What gives? Anything I can do? Thanks.
