Perhaps an odd query, but in the "good old days", you could add ram via add on cards.

My problem is I have a system who's BIOS(?) won't see more than 512 meg of ram, even though it has 3 PC133 DIMM slots and it DOES recognize 256meg dimms.

Even if you could find a PCI ram card, I doubt you'd be very happy
with the performance.  PCI is rather slow.

Is there an easy, or cheap, or preferably both method to get around this limit in Windows or Linux?

Linux can deal with non-contiguous memory, so you could probably make
it work.
