P5A RAM question

Hi,
I've got P5A w/ 128 mgs ram. I would like to raise that by another 128 mgs.
Shopping around, most 128 sticks mention VIA chipset (P5A has ALI). The 64
mg sticks don't mention chipset.

Questions:
* I assume a 128 VIA stick is a no-go, right?
* Will 64 sticks work with either chipset??
* I'm sure I'm missing something - anybody have a recommendation on how to
boost the RAM?

Any info will appreciated.

Thanks

Be aware of the L2 cacheable area issues.

Use 128 meg DIMMs with at least 8 chips, or 256 meg ones with 16 16Mx8
chips each.

IF it's related, I run a P5A-B with 256/128/64 sticks no problemo.
