mayb u install the wrong module and they're not compatible.

Older systems often fail to recognize or register large ram modules and apparently some versions of win9x will only use one large module or some maximum amount.
MS has a fix of sorts but your Bios or OS may just not see that second module.

Mother board have a max, guesing but a board with a 700mhz cpu MAY ( i dunno) be under that max, other suggestions good ones too.
