Hate to tell you this, but it must be your motherboard or something.  We're 
running 20 megs with Warp GA with no problems.  Dedicated BBS machine that runs
all the time, as a matter of fact...

BTW, just because the 4 and 16 meg chunks work dosen't mean it'll all work 
together, could be different speed RAM or something along those lines..
