What he said! And, if you don't have the manual for the motherboard anymore, try to give us a model number. (I'm not sure that "200 megahertz genuine Intel motherboard" pins it down -- does the 200 mhz refer to the max. processor speed of to the memory bus speed -- if the latter, it's a fairly recent motherboard and I'd expect to be able to put a lot of memory (more than 128 MB) in the dimm slots. But just for perspective, the motherboard I've used as a standard for several years (I've started replacing them recently) can use simms and dimms in certain specific combinations (I don't know what that does to the overall memory bus speed -- someone told me all the memory would run at the speed of the slowest simms), but the maximum size dimm (in each of two slots) is 64 MB. So I run these motherboards (in Linux) with 128 MB. Like I said, check your manual, and if you don't have your manual, search the Intel site for more info, or publish the model number here, so maybe somebody with the same motherboard can help you.
