Thanks,Ray Ray: Well, if you have a P4T533 motherboard, you do have the wrong RAM -- it has 2 232 pin sockets. However, if you have a P4T533-C motherboard, then you've got the correct chips. Asus has lists of recommended RAM chips for each board at the following pages: P4T533: http://usa.asus.com/mb/socket478/p4t533/specification.htm P4T533-C: http://usa.asus.com/mb/socket478/p4t533-c/specification.htm There was a recent review of these boards at Tom's Hardware: http://www17.tomshardware.com/mainboard/o2q2/020624/i850e-07.html (and the following page) that explains the differences between the two models.
