It is an Elements V6FP and is supposed to take up to 1 Gig of ram. The bios
was current as of a few months ago, but I will check again. I have had that
memory in all along but never remember checking it in system info before
today. The board is about 18 mo. old but I upgraded to XP about 5 mo. ago.
Thanks for your time.
