Is the RAM seated correctly, try installing one at a time and/or switching them around. How to check how much RAM is installed is in the book, that's a better way to check.

I have seen this before.

There is memory that is just incompatible enough to disable the onboard 2 meg but not allow access to the installed 32 Meg.

If you remove the 32 meg and the MPC shows 2 meg free then the MPC is OK. Just keep trying different brands until a set works.
