This specific Corsair memory -- does it work with the BX Chipset and
more specifically with the Asus p-2b series?

Anyone using it?

Here is a press release for the faster version of the same
module. The claim is that the module uses 16Mx8 chips.
Sixteen of those are needed to make a 256MB module,
2 banks of 8 chips. That is given the imprecise term
"low density memory" here and should work. If a module
is made with some other orientation, like 32Mx4 chips
and 1 bank of 16 chips to make a 64 bit wide bank,
that won't work.

If you go to the Kingston site, and look up what memory
they recommend for the P2B, you end up with modules
like this:

http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR100X64C2_256.pdf

That module has 16Mx8 chips as well. So, I think that is
the property you are looking for. The trick will be finding
a datasheet or some evidence better than the press release
I found, that positively says the 133C2 is made the same
way.

Roland has a page devoted to the ram question here
(this is not the P2B FAQ page - it is another one...)

I'm using CM654S256-150C2 on several of my P2Bs - great RAM!

According to the Corsair site, both products use 16Mx8 chips so the
PC133 version should also be BX compatible.
