I have Emachine 600IS and went to up grade my 64megs of memory with 256.
The local pc shop gave me Kingston KTH6501/256 as compatable with the
machine.
However when it boots it only sees 128 megs of ram. Any one got any
suggestions?? do I have to reset any thing in the bios or set up??

Your system is maybe limited to 128mb of memory.

I lookup your system from
http://parts.emachines.com/emachines/

It shows only 128MB 1 Pc. Sdram dimm pc 100 as upgradeable.
The technician should of known this and replaced it with the maximum
about of memory It can handle.

However, I read there is another type of chip that will fit into the
slot and give your more memory. I donýt recall the name of this chip.
It still may not work.

If it was me I take the machine back and ask for the correct size at
no charge.

How many memory chips on the RAM board?
You might using high-density RAM in the motherboard that only accept
low-density RAM.

No mater how much memory you get your system may be limited to 128 mb
unless you can find the special chip that will increase it. Your
motherboard only has 1 memory slot.

I think the chip I am talking about is called Sdram II.
Those do cost a little more. However, I am not sure if it will fit
into the slot.

If you had a shop do it take it back and ask him/her put another chip
back in at no charge. (However, you may need to pay the Difference
for the part if the chip cost more)
