I have 128MB DDR RAM. I want to upgrade to 1GB RAM but
don't know what to buy. I looked up my ASUS A7M266
Motherboard on the net and read that it was the first
motherboard capable of supporting 2GB RAM and that it uses
PC2100. I tried to buy PC2100 and had to pick the right
one for my "chipset"......what's that and how do I find
out what I have? Upgrade is my Christmas present, so I'm
anxious! Thank you, bw74

You want the following RAM (Unless you are overclocking):
2 x 512MB
DDR PC2100 . CL=2.5 . Unbuffered . Non-parity . 7.5ns .
2.5V . 64Meg x 64

Don't buy cheap RAM. You'll hate yourself. Buy Corsair,
Crucial, Kingston, Mushkin. Pretty much anything with a
lifetime warranty. 90 day/ 1 or 3 year stuff is not worth
the few dollars "saved".
