AMIBIOS has no memory settings. It performs a memory count at boot, and found it. --- juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de wrote:

I took out 16M, and it runs fine. I added back 8M (total 24M) and it does not see the extra 8M.
What should I do to get better performance?
It should work with 32MB at a noticable difference to 8MB. (faster). Check the BIOS setup options; I remember one That might limit mem to 16 MB. Experiment with that. Try "free", "top" to see your mem status after booting with different options. The /proc file system holds some info too for a quick view.
