Also, does it matter in LinuxBios how many DIMM slots you have?? I  
know in normal bios's there is a max per channel. For example on an  
i810 with two DIMM slots it would be able to support 256MB max per  
channel or slot. If you only had one slot you could could only have  
256MB. Is this determined by the bios or chipset?
