Neil,
When I add RAM to my Gateway, I have to set DIP switches on the motherboard.
I don't know if it will report lower RAM or not use the added RAM if I don't
set them.
The last time I priced SIMMs for this motherboard, they ran about $50 for 16
MB. Unfortunately, this motherboard requires 72 pin, Fast Page Mode, Parity
SIMMs, which are infinitely more expensive than EDO, Non-parity SIMMs. (The
motherboard is a Micronics motherboard, for those who might be wondering.)
