It already had 2 * 64 Mb sticks = 128mb. I have just won a 512mb stick
off ebay. I thought that if I added it I might get 640mb but for some
reason the bios reported 300-odd Mb. When I took the two 64mb sticks
out, the bios found the full 512mb. What is going on?

It was the right type of ram (pc133).
