I have a clone motherboard with 4 megs of SIPPS in it. I want to add 2 more megs but am having trouble. The machine is a 386 20 MHz with the C&T chip set and pheonix ROMS. The computer does not seem to want to acknowledge the additional memory. It just test the orginal 4 Megs on powerup and then if I set the SETUP to reflect the additional memory it says invaild memory configuration, run setup. So how do I get it to know the memory is present?

So how do I get >it to know the memory is present? How big are the SIPP's? If they are 1M X 8 each, then you probably need to add 4 at a time because the 386(DX) requires a 32 bit data path. Adding only 2 SIPP's makes for a 16 bit wide path.
