Contrary to popular belief... I do know how to RTFM before asking questions!:^)
My mobo's manual says that it does support PC133 168pin SDRAM unbuffered... it
makes no reference as to whether they're 16x8, 32x64, 64x64, or 32x4 standard
type of modules. Furthermore, I also checked the FAQs at the manufacturer's
website, and it too, just says PC133 168pin unbuffered SDRAM.

| Please refer to your manual that came with your motherboard. It will state

| Greetings Everyone!
|
| I've just upgraded my mobo/CPU to an IWill KK266Plus-R with an Athon XP
| 1600+,and I currently have 384MB SDRAM (3 128MB DIMMS). I'm looking at
| doubling
| that amount by replacing the 3 128s with three 256s.
|
| The particular RAM I'm looking at is: "High Density (32x4) 256MB PC133
| Memory
| 168pin"
|
| I'd be much obliged if someone could provide me some info and/or experience
| with
| this type of memory, and whether or not this type of RAM would be ok in my
| system.
|
| According to the reseller's documentation on their website about this
| particular
| memory, it states as follows: "These modules are made using a high-density
| 32Bit
| DRAM Chip. To use this module, your motherboard must be able to accept a 512
| MB
| DIMM in each memory slot. If not, your system might only recognize the chip
| as
| 128MB".
|
| My mobo is one of the newer ones and is capable of accepting (and
| recognizing) a
| 512MB DIMM in each above its banks (3).
|
| Please advise. Thanks!
