Question RAM Query

I have just installed some additional EDO Ram.
During start-up, I see "Ram installed: 2048k bytes one-cycle EDO installed."

During the memory test, I get the report: "131072k OK" (I assume that equates to 128 mb Ram?)
However, when I go into My Computer/Control Panel/System, it reports that I have only 15mb of Ram. (AOL gives me the option to check System Information and that too states that I have only 15 mb Ram - with a warning that it is insufficient.)

Can anyone please tell me (in the simplest possible terms!):
(1) Why there is the apparent discrepancy?
(2) Is my computer recognising all the memory installed?
(3) Does it mean that my system/software is not using all the available RAM?
(2) What I should do?

I also picked up the report "EDO DRAM at bank: 1 3" - there is a space between the 1 and the 3.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
