I have an 8-chip 200-pin pc2100 sodimm and am being told that it
doesn't work on systems designed for 16-chip 200-pin pc2100 sodimm's.
As such, I'd like to know on which systems it does work on, however, I
am not sure how to do this. Is there some sort of compatibility list
somewhere? I tried to do a Google search but didn't get any useful
results...

Go to the manufacturers web site. Kingston has a compatibility list for
their products.

Wouldn't it be more important as to what memory works with YOUR computer
rather than some computer you don't have? What, you bought the memory
and now are looking for a computer to buy to put it in?

Sounds like you got suckered into buying high-density memory, like the
half-priced memory selling for cheap at eBay. Users going by price
instead of really knowing what specs for memory that they need often get
lured into buying the cheap high-density stuff. If your motherboard's
manual doesn't mention it can support high-density memory then it
doesn't.

You got it half correct. I'm trying to sell the ram (which I got as a
gift) on eBay. Since I don't want negative feedback, however, I want
to minimize the likelihood that people will be buying the wrong type
of RAM from me. So, basically, I'm trying to prevent the exact
scenario that you just described.

Kudos to you, though, for your assumption of bad faith.

Where did he assume you were being dishonest? Or does "bad faith" mean
something other than what I think it does?

On wikipedia, there's a frequently "cited" article called WP:AGF
(where AGF is an acronym for assume good faith). It's generally cited
when people believe that someone else isn't giving them the benefit of
the doubt, which I don't think Vanguard was doing. Instead of giving
me the benefit of the doubt, he concluded that I was "looking for a
computer to buy to put [the RAM] in". Honestly, if someone were doing
that, I would think them a little stupid (because you essentially
threw away ~$100.00, you're going to spend another ~$1,500.00 more?),
and I think that's kinda what Vanguard was trying to insinuate.

You will never prevent negative feedback from idiots who don't have a
clue as to what they need to buy. The buyer should know exactly what
memory they need. If you provide enough specs, brand and model, and
even a URL to the maker's web page for those specs then you've given
them enough information for them to make an educated purchase. Having
all the details possible about what you are selling won't help with
uneducated buyers. After all, I often see buyers that bid more for an
item than they could buy it at an online store. Don't expect a lot of
intelligence from ebay buyers. Make sure you add a line in bold and
different colored font that declares that they contact you if they have
any questions, and that all sales of memory modules are final (too often
the idiots zap them with static, damage them, or get the wrong part and
expect you to kiss their boo boo, or their ass).

Oh really? Look at all the folks buying consumer-grade computers who
FIRST decide on an oeprating system and then figure out if there are
applications out there that best suites the task and their pocketbook.
Buying an OS and then determining the apps is ass backwards. It happens
all the time. So what would prevent you from looking around at parts to
job your own box and you happened to start with memory first. Yeah,
most might start with the mobo but often many look at hard drives,
memory, displays, and other stuff first.

And here I thought it wast me thinking "Why does this stuff (often used
or returned equipment sell for so much)"? It's called buyer beware and
try to educate yourself first.
