Hi,

BASED ON THE MODEL NUMBER, and personal experience, IT IS AN INTEL LX
CHIP SET.

LX chipsets went to 333mhz CPU speeds at the 66mhz bus

If you have 3 long slots with white latches at each end, you want to use
PC66 memory, s-dram, 168 pin  most likely.  If you can't find pc66 then
PC100 should also work as memory slows down.
Max the board could possibly take is 768M (3- 256M), but more likely
384M (3-128M) but if you are running win 98 2nd then 512M is most the OS
will effectively use.

But if the board uses 72 pin sims (there would be 4 slots) memory needs
to be put in pairs and
It could be either Edo or non edo, and 32M modules will work.  64$ m
modules may not without a BIOS upgrade

Best way to tell is look at the memory you already have in the system
and see if there is any descriptions on it to go by.


Thanks and have a Great Day!
