I use 4 8x36-60 SIMMS (128MB total) and it's perfectly happy; it automatically detects the amount of RAM on the board, so there's no extra work for you. Even though Tomcat I claims it can work up to 512MB RAM with a Tag RAM and modifying two jumper settings, it's a lot of pain and I was only able to get it work with 8 4x32 EDO RAM but not 4 8x36 parity RAM.
