Sorry it was 554-555, although that's by counting from p.532 the last numbered 
page before the advert. The board's described as:

P75-166 (Socket 7)
256k PBcache
Intel PCI chipset (Triton)
6x72pin SIMM sockets (Max 128MB) - Work that out... 2x32MB + 4x16MB?
Supports EDO RAM
Integrated Super I/O
Standby and Suspend mode support
Award Flash BIOS
Cost (May) 119+vat
