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?
