Some board don't take large SDRAM but they take large DIMM. here, DIMM
doesn't meam SDRAM (but all SDRAM are DIMM). Anyone tried Abit mobo with
more then 256M SDRAM? it says support upto 1G DIMM, but only 256M SDRAM on
menaul, and as the result, as long as you install more than 256M SDRAM, the
machine will crash (in any OS installation processing, eg win95/98, NT,
Linux ... I tried all of 'em).
