I have a 486 66mhz with 8 meg of ram. I bought 4 simms of 4 meg each to 'boost' my ram, and can't seem to get them right. The system still sees only 8 megs of memory, no matter what order I install the simms. I have tried 4 new with 4 of the old, 4 new alone, and have installed them in different positions too. A couple of times I was taken to Setup on bootup with a "memory mismatched" message but don't think that should be required. I thought the post just sees the ram for itself. Any tips or sharing of facts here would be greatly appreciated by this novice. Thanks in advance. Regards Christopher
