Hey Diane.....
First.....you can put 1000meg of memory on this board, but it can only use
512megs...that is a limitation of the 815 chipset.
I am GUESSING, that this board would probably use 168pin SDRAM chips, PC133.
The only way to tell for sure is to KNOW what the make and model number of
the motherboard is(should be printed amongst the PCI slots). The easiest
way to see them is to use a small flashlight.......
Or you can pull the existing 256meg chip and match it.
IF.....512megs is not going to be enough memory for your purposes, then you
are going to have to upgrade.
If you need further help tracking down numbers etc, you can contact me

Subject: [PCBUILD] Installing more memory help
Hello,
I need more memory, as I'm getting into graphics,
with a focus on the Macromedia Studio MX suite of products.
I used Belarc to id what's here, but can't seem to get my head
around what to order, in terms of memory; nor can I get a
handle on translating what Crucial says my system can take,
as I read what Belarc says my system is.
From another list:
>Installing memory on any system is VERY easy, and is explained in detail
>at
>www.crucial.com and if you use their wizard, you should be able to find
>the
>minimum and maximum RAM for your system. Also, your system can easily be
>identified by installing the Belarc Advisor, which you will find a link
>for
>on Crucial's website.
Here's what I have:

Here's what Crucial's wizard says:

OSE>
Does this mean that I can put up to a total of 1000 megabytes of memory
widgets
into those DIMM slots? Would it be smarter if I just went to Intel's site
and looked?
Thanks,
Diane
