Hi Roger, According to the manufacturer's web site, your Gigabyte Model GA-8SIMLH takes up to 2 gigabyte of memory of type DDR333 - note the type as it is important. By the way, did you know it supports SIX USB ports? Crucial can do 512MB for £32.89, or you could go for a full gigabyte at £63.44. Both prices inclusive of VAT. The Tiny URL below will take you direct to Crucial's web page. http://tinyurl.com/r2y97 Following is just the full, extremely long URL. http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductl ine=Giga-Byte%2B+Motherboards&mfr=Giga-Byte&tabid=AM&model=G A-8SIML&submit=Go George.
