Can your board actually handle the memory?
Check to see that the memory is actually working properly and your computer is
actually seeing it. If that isn't the problem, try using one 32 meg EDO or
replacing the memory. The error you are describing usually only happens when
someone trys to run windows95 full install with 4 megs of ram in there
computer.
