Make sure all dimms are the same speed. That has caused intermittent and unrelated crashes for me. Some of my several Dimms, had the wrong speed noted on them. That gave me a fit also. (All of my dimms are labeled).
As to what the manual says. My Power Tower Pro also said 64MB max. Dimms But ... I've 8 (that's eight, Count 'um), 128MB dimms (that's a GIG) in there and all are recognized. I've another PTP that's given me fits with the dimms until I discovered the #1 Rom Slot is defunct. Now, I just use the 2 & 6, 3 & 7 and 4 & 8 slots ... works great.
