Almost unbelievably, the motherboard manual *does* tell you (in the 
customary broken English).

Apparently 1 module will work, 2 modules will work (provided they're 
installed in slots 1+2), and 3 modules will not work under any 
circumstances. (And, obviously, 4 will work.)

I currently have 4 installed, meaning that I'll have to remove 2 of them 
to see what's up.

Also, it's DDR-400 RAM, which Ebuyer no longer sells in quantities 
greater than 1GB for some reason. And it's not nearly as cheap as you'd 

able to get my PC going again. Cos, damn, I was like a little lost lamb 
last night...
