> I need more memory, as I'm getting into graphics,

Thank you for providing such detailed information. <smile> It was easy
finding the information you needed.

According to Intel, this is what you will need for your board.

"The IntelR Desktop Board D815BN supports up to 512 MB of dynamic memory.
The three 168-pin Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets support 3.3V
unbuffered 100 MHz, or 133 MHz, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
(SDRAM) DIMMs. If PC133 memory is going to be run at the full 133 MHz, only
four of the six DIMM sides can be used (two double-sided DIMMs, or one
double-sided DIMM plus two single-sided DIMMs)."

Indecently, this board has gone in the non-support mode which means Intel
has discontinued it.

"End of Interactive Support Announcement
These products are no longer being manufactured by Intel. Additionally,
Intel no longer provides interactive support for these products via
telephone or e-mail, nor will Intel provide any future software updates to
support new operating systems or improve compatibility with third party
devices and software products."

If you are serious about graphics you may want to upgrade your system to
better handle the graphics. A D875 Intel board with a P4 3.0 CPU, a gig of
memory a good video card with 128mb of memory and Windows XP-Professional
would do the trick and help keep you system from grinding to a halt as
Windows 98SE might do. Besides, the p4 3.0 has hyper threading which means
the system will run as if there were two processors on the board.
