P2B-LS memory

I have a P2B-LS board and want to add more PC-100 SD-RAM to it. The
motherboard manual indicates it can accept up to 128Mb DIMMS in each
of the 4 DIMM sockets.

The board is rev 1.02 and is using the 1014 firmware. Is it possible
to use larger DIMMS to get more than 512Mb in total?

Maximum RAM on a P2B-LS is 1GB using 4 x 256MB DIMMS, but they *must*
have the correct internal organisation.

Go to crucial.com to order guaranteed compatible DIMMS, and/or read the
FAQ to learn why it can be difficult to determine whether DIMMS from
other sources are compatible:

You should be able to use some 256 MB DIMMS but they have to be the
proper type. To make sure go to crucial.com and enter your motherboard
there.
