then, i thought it should be a problem with my mobo (but still it supports upto 768M so i fixed the new 256MB by itself. then the total RAM showed as 128MB (half of the new RAM). tried in different slots but still the same

I could be wrong but here goes...

If your board supports 768MB, that means 256 max x3 slots correct??

I ran into this awhile back on a Soyo board I had...With some RAM, the board has to support 512 in each slot to be able to use the newer 256 sticks...Otherwise it only recognizes 128MB of a 256 stick....Especially if it's double denisty RAM....As soon as I bought a board that supported 1.5 GB, the same RAM worked perfectly...

Sorry...
