You appear to have a BIOS that is so old that it limits the amount of memory it will accept. Go to the BIOS manufacturer's website and follow their very simple directions for flashing. Be aware that if it screws up during the download and flashing, your computer may not run again. That always made me hesitate.
Keep in mind that I have never heard of any flashing failing but the sites always warn about that so I guess it is rare but possible.

Be careful flashing your BIOS, if you do it incorrectly or select the wrong BIOS, it will render your computer inoperable. Normally, you download the BIOS and follow directions, some require a floppy, some will just install after double clicking on it and restarting the computer.

Sounds risky to me...... Maybe you should just dig deep and get a new computer. Thats what I would do.
