Memory not reporting properly

Hi,
I have a IBM Aptiva 350cpu K6 with 64mg ram. I installed 2 new 128mg
SDRAM and it is only showing a total of 64mg of RAM. Is there something I have to change in the BIOS to get the RAM to register properly and if so how do I get the BIOS open as I only get an IBM screen when computer boots up.

thanks,

Geekster :cool:

I'd try taking one stick out and boot. Now check your Ram size. Does the computer have 64mb. Ram permanently installed?
To access the Bios:
When you see the IBM logo screen, and memory counting, press the F1 key to enter the configuration utility.
