What does your BIOS tell you exactly for the memory size? Modern
systems do not have 196MB ram. They either have 96 or 192, or at least
multiples of 64. On a PPro, I'd expect you to be using 16 or 32MB (or
64 or 128 MB) SIMMs, but 196 is not a multiple of that. Do you really have
256MB with 60MB shared memory for video?
