Sorry If I'm sending this twice or if it looks bad... my mailer puked earlier and is still causing 
me some problems.

DO NOT do this.  Telling the kernel that you have more ram than the BIOS thinks
you do is a BAD idea, and will result in an unbootable (but fixable, it is Linux, after
all :-)) system.

If your sticks are not 168 pin DIMMs, they won't work.  If you have some other
SIMM or something providing the 32MB, it won't work (your board only supports
128MB).I'm sure I didn't just tell you anything, but I wanted to cover all of the
bases.  I seem to remember you saying that the ram was 100mhz? (it probably is if
you just bought it... check the specs if you are unsure).  Judging by the fact that
your motherboard only supports processors <= 200mhz and ram <= 128mb, I feel
confident in saying that you have a 66mhz bus and can not use 100mhz ram.  I
would suggest returning the ram (or put it to use in a newer machine) and going by
your favorite hacker run computer dump - anyone that carries used parts will
do.  Pick up a couple of 64mb EDO DIMMs and you'll be just happy as a clam.
