hello all,

was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of memory i can put into a Asus P4B533 mobo. I tried to look on Asus's website, but i cant find a listing for the mobo anymore. There is a sale on in my area on 1gb sticks for 99 cdn, and wanted to put in 2 of these too help out my poor box.

Thanks

Hi BigR.

I did found the mobo on there website:


P4B533-X (Intel 845E) Series- Intel Pentium 4/ Celeron up to 3.06GHz+
- Intel? Hyper-Threading Technology ready
- 800* /533/400MHz FSB
- DDR 400* /333*/266/200
- 6 channel audio
- Max. 6 USB2.0 ports
* Overclocking feature support PC3200/PC2700

But it doesn't say how much ram it can handle , i would asume 2 gb since it has two stots but im not sure.

thanks joe, the only thing is my mobo is not the '-X' version, dont know if that will make a difference.

Good spot there , i didn't see that. And i didn't search for the -x version but this was the only one that came up on the asus site..

Let me have an other look.

Looks like this is the right one :

The ASUS P4B533 and the Intel 845E chipset unlock the value of Pentium 4 technology with high-bandwidth DDR SDRAM. Supporting up to 2GB of PC2100/PC1600 and a peak bandwidth of 2.1GB/s

bah only 2 gb


would it be better to get 2 one gig stick or a one gig and a 512. i have a 512 in right now, just wondering what the best config would be.

alos, what brand would you recommend.

thanks
