[Cooker] 192mb ram not detected

[Michael M Walker]

i installed mandrake 7.1 for the third time and each time it reports
that i have
14mb of ram and this is really slow it takes too long to start up or to
open a program
this is what i have for hardware
epmvp3c2 motherboard
amdk6-2 500mhz
192mb sdram micron
riva tnt2 16mb agp
3dfx voodoo2 32mb pci
there is more but it is not relevant
my question is how can i change the amount of ram my self so it will use
the full
192mb
