Some mother boards do not let you put above 32mb into a single EDO slot.
Also Compaq motherboards have onboard memery which you may need to take off or disable.
You may want to check what the max MB is for your motherboard.
What is the model number

I have 2 16mb I can try.

I need to figure out why f10 wont let me in setup, so that I can check to see if there is a memory setting that will work.

Thanks

This is a Compaq 4112 and the correct command is F10.
However it is not working?

Not familiar with that model , but some allow you to disable [F10] setup with a CMOS setting. If yours is one of those you might have to pull the battery to clear the setting. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
