 If the BIOS will not find it, there is nothing you can do - you have a 'broken'
 motherboard that will not support DIMMs with more than 1 row / DIMM and 
 that 64mb one does have 2 rows. Get a second 32mb DIMM or change that
 64mb one to a single row one. I'd suggest getting a second 32mb, because
 they are cheaper and your not going to put more than 64mb on that mb
 anyways.
