Hi,

I want to max out the RAM on my motherboard;  However, the documentation
that comes with it is somewhat contradictory.

In the board level feature section of the manual, it states that the maximum
memory is 512 MB.  However, in the Features & Specifications section and in
the "how to install memory DIMMs" section is states that the max is 1 GB.
This would make more sense since the features listing also states that is
supports up to 256 MB DIMMs and there are 4 DIMM slots.

Has anyone out there tried to put over 512MB on this board?  Or even a
single 256 MB DIMM?  I went to the Tekram site and they have the same
contradictory information, and are not responding to my queries.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Greg.
