Memory for AlphaPC 164LX

[jon norstog]

Dear Sergei & list:

PC 133 memory is poison to some Alphas, maybe the 164 series too?  Also
chances are not good at getting your mobo to recognize anything over 256
meg per stick.  It might not see the larger stick at all, or might see
it as a smaller amount of RAM. 

Also, match pairs of RAM.

good luck
