odd memory problem with flash installed

Hi all,

I just noticed the other day that since I installed a Mo/Phatt Flash ram in my E4X, it only shows up 8Mo of memory instead of 72Mo it has.
I tried to switch my 2 memory simms (I suspect they are 8mo + 64Mo but nothing written on them so not 100% sure) and then rebooted the E4X and it said 32Mo! I know when you have some flash ram, you're limited to 64Mo with the ram enabled.
If I disable the ram from the setup menu and reboot, its says 72Mo! I also ran the memory tests and everything seems ok.

Any idea what the problem could be?

When you have to different sizes of ram in your sampler this goes:
If you have a 64 mb ram chip in slot a, and a 32 mb ram chip in slot b you get 64mb+16mb. Dunno why, but with different sizes you only get half the capaticy of the ram chip in slot b. This was rather badly formulated, but you get the point, eh?

Why don't you remove the 8Mb chip ? If you put a Sound ROM you'll only access 64 Mb anyway.
