MSI Motherboard question

Motherboard is a W6178, which appears to be an MSI motherboard, but it
is not stamped "Microstar International" on the motherboard, just "MSI
W6178" and REV:1.1. The BIOS reports "W6178M8" at boot, so I assume
it's version M, but I'm not sure what the "8" at the end is for. These
are "Blue Light Specials" apparently made for KMart, which the owner
of the company I work for picked up for a song. No docs or
anything.

We ordered some 256 MB dimms from an online vendor. When they arrived,
they only registered as 128 MB dimms. The vendor states this is a
known problem: "The most common problem associated with this problem
is that you purchased a high density module and you PC needs a Low
density module."

My question is this: Does this motherboard support "high-density"
dimms? The systems are running bios version Award V6.00 PG.

Thanks...
