Check your motherboard manual for specific RAM configurations. In general,
I think you can safely assume that if your motherboard is over 2 years old,
it most likely won't support 1GB of RAM because 512MB chips we pretty hard
to get and were very expensive then. Now they're going for about $150 or
less at Fry's.
If you need a new motherboard, don't go cheap. Get the board that has the
greatest expandability options. I recomend Intel chipsets. IWILL boards
are awesome. I would recommend an IWILL board with SCSI adapters built in.
You'll end up paying about $500 for the board, but you'll be able to do a
lot more and you'll be able to use it much much longer vs. a cheap board
that you'll likely have to replace in less than 2 years.

Totally OT, so apologies. I notice that alot of people talk about having 1GB
RAM.
Well, I bought 512Mb more today, went to fit it, and then, after lots of
muckinf about, discovered that my motherboard only supportd upto 512MB RAM.
Is this normal? Is my only way around this to buy a new motherboard? This is
another world to me, but some of you clever people out there might know.
TIA
Will
