The problem is not RAM, it is your mobo. Some old mobo doesn't recogniz single
RAM greater than 32M, some have limitation to 64M. eg. My old P-233 cannot use
single RAM greater than 64M, I currently have 64+32=96M,  the max RAM I can add
in is 64+64=128 (only 2 DIMM slot).
There is no way to work around to pass mobo limitation.
