72pin is limited to 32mb per stick. The 168pin sticks might be available up to
128mb and you might have a mobo that would allow 4 32mb sticks plus one or two
168pin 5V dimms. I'd look on eBay for something that old if you can't find
someone who has some laying around. I have some 72pin sticks around here
somewhere but keep them to stick into printers and all my other dimms are newer
than the 5v stuff. 

Good luck finding it... or go to a computer show/flea market and get a newer
mobo that uses more recent dimms and you can go up to 512mb or more. A PIII
class system would likely blow whatever you are playing with out of the water.
