I purchased a 512MB 168-pin PC133 memory module from an eBay seller, but after I installed the RAM, my computer only recognizes it as being 128MB, not 512MB. I started out with a 256 and a 128 chip = 384MB. I removed the 128 and replaced it with the (supposedly) 512 = 640MB, but my system is still showing 384MB total. My question: This seller has really excellent feedback and even is a Power Seller. Is it possible that he/she is disguising 128MB chips as 512MB and selling them for more than what they're worth, or is there something else going on?? I talked with a friend and he said my motherboard is able to support 512MB chips, but I'm starting to think that may be incorrect... Although I've noticed a considerable difference in things like boot-up speed, application processing speed, and the like. What's going on??!! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3423411462 -- K-Dub

What motherboard are you running?
Where is the seller of this auction located?
Why have you changed eBay IDs so many times in less than 2 years?
