In attempting to configure more than 2gb of RAM in a DS20, we found that
mixing Viking-branded 128mb and 256mb DIMMs would consistently fail.
Installing all
128mb (2gb max) or all 256mb (4gb max) would work.
2gb of 256mb + 1gb of 128mb DIMM's would fail to begin POST, 2gb of 256mb +
512mb of 128mb DIMM's would fail during POST.
Note that Compaq isn't currently shipping 256mb DIMM's (to my knowledge),
limiting the practical max to 2gb with "supported" memory options.
