256 Mb Single-sided RAM problem

Post by BlAzKoWiCz »

Hello, New user at BP6.com :)

I have a problem with my BP6, ive bought 2x 256 Mb Single-sided SDRAM sticks.
but it only shows up as 256 Mb RAM, and 128 Mb if i only use one stick.

I have Googled and found out that the i440BX chipset doesnt support Single-sidede 256 Mb sticks but should work fine with double-sidede RAM, is there a solution to this problem?
