I have an Athlon-based system too and grub sees all my 192M. 
This is my linux section in menu.lst file:

  title linux 
  kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 vga=2 mem=192m
  initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd.img                   ^^^^^^^^

If you are using lilo:

  image=/boot/vmlinuz
          label=linux
          root=/dev/hda5
          initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	  append="mem=192m"
		^^^^^^^^
