The 6400/6500 boxes will not do this. 128M is max on these boxes unless someone wants to make a new motherboard for them. Check http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ and http://www.zone6400.com/ for reference. The motherboard is only designed to take 128meg max of memory - something about the addressing lines or memory handling chips.
