ram regestering at less than it is

Comment:
I have a P3-600 with a Asus motherboard. It refuses to register memmory above 128. I changed chips,changed slots, checked the bios, evrything possible but still will not read more than 128 (131). Interestingly enough, this change took place after a virus infection but I have since quaranteed those viruses. I have also ensured that the chip is tightly seated. I am going crazy about this and any suggestions would be apprecaited. Thanks.
