I have an asus A7V133 MB. In the manual it states that it can handle 1.5 gb of ram. When I install 3 512mg ram chips I receive an error message"Insufficient memory to utilize windows" however when I boot up the computer recognizes the 1.5gb of ram. What is my problem? Thanks

If you are using Win9x/Me please read: <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q253/9/12.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=q253912&rnk=1&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=W98SE" target="_new"> Q253912</A> this is a known problem for these OS's. It is not your M/B.

Recommendation, upgrade to Win2k/XP. These can handle your large amounts of DRAM sufficiently.

yes i would upgrade, if you got 1.5gb of ram in that box, i wouldn't know why you would be running win9x/ME.

I had the EXACT same problem. Darn. I wish I could remember how MS techies fixed it. There is a line somewhere in the Win.ini or sys.ini file that limits the memory.
I had to edit it and the problem was solved.
Might wanna call MS about it or check their data base.
