    SubjectRe: memory
    Your correct....as of 2.1.97 (or maybe 2.1.96 as well, I forgot) the
    kernel recognizes more than 64 upon bootup.....otherwise, you need to pass
    parameters to it upon bootup either through lilo or edit the lilo.conf
    file in your /etc directory as of which I haven't been able to do.....
