You've swapped out the motherboard from an Intel to an AMD based one and you're complaining that the BIOS "still recognises" your RAM as the old 32Mb stick?

WTF? Its a different motherboard - its never even seen your old 32Mb memory.

If you're now at the stage of installing Windows, then you must have solved the RAM problem already...

I think there are several wires crossed in your post, there!

Well i'm completely confused now!!

Could the 32MB message be coming from your video card? That would explain it

Edited to add 128MB is a bit stingy for XP, it'll wake up if you stick 512 in it.

Terribly sorry old chap - have to say its not the clearest post of all time and considering the technical nature of the problem(s) you seem to be having, perhaps a smidgen of clarity wouldn't go amiss?

Computers aren't the clearest 'things' of all time,it just kept remembering this 32mb stick i took out even after bios was updated?,the video card is a 64mb card incidentally.
