Not a clue.  I would suggest, due to the flakey nature of early 168 pin
SDRAM sockets, that you switch to 72 pin EDO for this board.  I can't speak
for all motherboard designs using the 430VX, but typically a board using
such an old chipset wouldn't know the difference when it comes to
performance.  Stability, on the other hand, will increase dramatically.
By the way, there was such a thing as 168 pin edo, don't just assume the
16mb DIMM is sdram if you haven't any documentation or way of testing it.

I have a Pentium 120 (I430 VX chipset) that came with 16mB DIMM.
I want to upgrade the memory.  I have a PC66 32 mB synchronous DIMM memory
(Nanya)
that my BIOS will not autodetect.  If I leave the settings as they were
for the 16mB memory the computer will not boot.  If I leave the default
settings in the
BIOS, the computer will show signs of life ie: not beep but the monitor will
not light up.
Any clues?
