Used to have a single channel of RAM at 400Mhz 500MB, now replaced with dual channel each 1GB but 333MHz. The PC only detects 500MB in each channel, but has gone into dual channel mode. Is there a bios setting that I need to change to get the rest of the RAM recognised? FSB is 166MHz to get the CPU speed to be detected correctly. Ta

It would seem as if you have got 2x512mb sticks and not 2x1Gb sticks. There is no setting in the BIOS that will change how your system sees your RAM sticks. RAM wasn't made at the 333Mhz speed in 1Gb sticks, it was the expensive end of the market and so was usually only available in the highest speed range for business and industry.
