I suggest you try booting without the cards. If it then boots you can
add them back to determine which is the offending card. My guess would
be the video board if it is not an Apple brand board. No one has yet
coded support for the non-Apple boards so many don't work.

You should be able to squeeze by with 8MB then as you won't be
allocating memory for video. But then if your video board is not an
Apple brand board it won't have a driver so you may not be able to see
the output.
