Note: Sims have to be installed in pairs !

there is four ram slots on 7100 - maximum is supposed to be
4X32Mb.
There is as well usually 8Mb soldered on the board - thus
20mb for the lot seems a bit curious

I dont know if you can use 64mb sims - it has been reported possible
on 6100 - but perhaps you can't go further than 4x32Mb+8mb=136Mb on 7100
(maximum in Apple specs - in Guru as well)
With 1999 versions installer 16Mb was enough ...
but don't try to use kde ... even with more memory it would be to slow
on the 7100
Now I don't know
Besides that, 20Mb is sure a bit short - try to find a couple of 16mb sims ...
