If you have 128m RAM, that should be listed as "Available Built-in
Memory: 128m.
There is a program called Tech Tool that is available on the 'net. I
suggest that you downlaod it and run the memory test feature. You may
have some bad RAM. There is also a series called GURU that provides
some good diagnostic tools. They should be available at
http://www.macresource.pair.com/mrp/main.shtml
Your setting of 4096 for cache should be ok. The VM shold be 1 meg
more than installed RAM. The catch is installed RAM shows under that
Available Built-in Memory.
