    PC133 is a superset, so use whatever you have that works.
    There is a slight risk that the memory chip geometry may
    not be supported but if the system boots and sizes memory
    there is a really good chance you are fine.

    The 512 MB restrction is from the North bridge.  The ALI
    hardware only goes up to 512 MB.

    If you plug in 2 512 MB modules, it may be an interesting
    experiment.  I know you will not see 1 GB of memory.  The
    question is how much memory would be found, whether it will
    fail, and would the failure be exciting :-).
