mag i used the mem selector based on computer manufacturer, not mobo attributes. maybe you built your own? and even when i used the pc maker and added in detailed system specs, i still needed to determine whether i was running pc100 or pc133, parity or non-parity, buffered or unbuffered, how many pins, etc. the crucial site has excellent tutorials on making these determinations, ranging from a formula for counting the chips on the module and dividing by three (to determine parity) to examining the part # to see if you want parity or ecc. bottom line, either call your pc manufacturer if looking inside the case at your existing mem doesn't help, or call (or email) the crucial salespeople. i emailed them on thanksgiving with a question about unbuffered chips and availability of the stick i wanted and they replied the next day. [edit: like it says on the crucial.com site.... "Our Web site is designed to teach the novice user everything they need to know about memory" ] good luck :) mark
