[ale] Why only 128MB RAM?

[Jeff Hubbs]

Here's a quote from the mobo manual:  "Three banks, each bank can be 
single or double sided, 8MB up to 1.5GB. Supports SDRAM memory (Use 
168-pin DIMM module x 3). Support +3.3V DC operating voltage for DIMM 
subsystem.).

I wonder if this thing is mislabled.  The contained label says PC133 but 
the chip ID is said to be PC100 as per Google.
