Um, in looking at your board specs, I think you are pretty much out of
luck getting this memory to run... 

Take a look at the memory config chart... it only supports a max of 128
meg as 2x64. I realize you have done the switch to 2x64, but the 128 never
would work to begin with.

Also, have you tried just one strip at a time? Are you positive they are
good?

Have you entered the BIOS and tried to reset the thing? Could be that
having that 128 strip in there confused the hell out of the thing. 

Have you yanked the strips out and changed the order of them in the
sockets?

In high school football, the coach kept me on the bench all year. On the
last game of the season, the crowd was yelling, "We want Youngman! We want
Youngman!" The coach says, "Youngman - go see what they want!"
