I recently saw someone ask this same question, but can't find it now.
Upgrading from 16 to 32MB mem. on a Dell EISA machine with an EISA
SCSI controller.  The new 16MB are not recognized/used.  However,
boot-up does give some indication that it is there (first line of
boot-up says "386bsd  ... at ... 639/31744" or somesuch), and my CMOS
setup says it's there, and DOS thinks it's there, but I still get
"Testing 15MB" only.  Ideas?  -Rick
