Ok. Now that I"ve been shown the error of my ways, let me
rephrase -- is BIOS seeing all 192 megs? If so, type the
append line as others have shown it (as 191M or 192M) If
not, you may have RAM that's incompatible with your
motherboard.
If you've added 72 pin simms to a hybrid board populated
with DIMMs, or added a 128Meg dimm to a hybrid board which
is populated with SIMMs, it likely won't work.
