I need some assistance please

Hi and thanks in advance for any help or advice!

I am trying to revive my old computer to use as a back-up since my laptop is on life support.

The short of it is that I bought two new 256mb sticks of low density/profile ram. However my computer only sees and utilizes 128mb of ram for each stick. Is there a way to fix this? Or is there a certain type of ram that is compatible with my computer?

By the way here is the stats for the memory. The first memory module is the 128mb stick that originally came with the computer. The second module is the new 256mb stick. In case anyone needs a comparison of the ram.

Hi:

After reviewing some previous answers, is it correct for me to assume that low density 256mb ram has 8 chips on on both sides of the ram? If it only has 8 chips on one side then that means it is high density?

If that is the case then I think I just received high density.
