If that doesn't work then it sounds like the m/b is limited 
to 4 banks, where 2/8/32MB simms have two banks per simm.

- In which case try exchanging your 2x 8MB simms for 1x 16MB simm.
  That way a 4+16MB simm give you 20MB and appears as 2 banks.

Also check the m/b as it may be silk-screened onto it, they sometimes 
miss it out of the manual & some people supply the "wrong" manual.
