Just to let you know, sometimes different RAM modules (different brand, speed, density etc...) don't play nicely with eachother, when I had a PC3200 stick with two PC2100 sticks my computer refused to start, removing the PC2100 sticks solved the problem so don't be alarmed if it doesn't work with your old & new ram together

Actually... I think I found it. Digging a little deeper in the manual it says "Double-sided (16x) RAM modules are not supported due to chipset limitations."

That explains why only two modules (32x total) will work at only one time, and adding any more the the already 32x crashes the system.

Wish I'd read that earlier...
