The problem is not a BIOS setting or any of that jazz.  What chip technology
do the modules employ?  The memory you have (PC133) is incompactible with
your motherboard.  Its not the speed or any settings, just the way the
modules are configured/built.  For example your original modules are likely
to use /8 or x8bit chips.  The PC133 cold be x16 or x32 as chip denisty has
gone up.

How many chips are on each side of the PC66 and PC133?
