Comment: Tried to add 64MB (pair) in Packard Bell Axcel 3510 which had 4x4MD (one upright & 1 at angle)+ 2x16MB already = Total 40MB.
Removed the 4"s & put the 2 16's in those slots ( 1 up & 1 angled), and the 2 new 32's in the slots where the 16's were. On boot up only showed 32MB. Replaced the 8 MB & now shows 65.5 MB/ I was trying to get a total of 64 +32...troubl;e gettting them seated...is this the problem? Please help

Reply: (edit)Sometimes it is just a seating problem, but more often it's a matter of copmpatibility. I don't know what this board will take in the way of SIMM's but the manual should help. You can also go to the crucial.com site and use their configurator to see what siz enad type of memory to use. There were several variations of SIMM's for 486 and early Pentium's and some are not compatible. Good luck. :)
