Help needed on buying Memory

[Grasshopper]

Hi All,

I have ABIT BH6 (no rev) motherboard and I currently have only 64MB of PC100 SDRAM (generic brand). I am seriously thinking of adding more memory on my machine since it is too little for Win2K. Now I see the prices drop for memory every now and then but when I look under the description for the kind of memory that I think of buying, it says it does not support INTEL motherboards.

Now my question is can memory differentiate between the system I am running? Or if they are just posting it on the web, will it work with my motherboard. RAM I am trying to buy is PC133 256 M SDRAM and following is the website that says it.

LINK FOR MEMEORY Description


If anyone can help me, I will greatly appretiate it.

Thanks all.

Nope, won't work with the BH6.

To tell you the truth, I don't know why it wouldn't support Intel motherboards, but you never know. After looking at the web site you posted, I can safely say that I wouldn't buy it. It doesn't seem to be worth getting if it really does have all of those requirements. Who knows, it very well could be (and probably is) an inferior product. All of the memory I've ever bought hasn't had any specific system requirements (aside from memory speeds i.e. PC133, etc.); all I've done is pop the memory in my system. I'd say stay away from it.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Get some Crucial memory from buy.com they have a great deal on some PC133 ram.

That memory is one of the best and its now very cheap.

Don't settle for this GENERIC junk it will give you nothing but headaches.

I'd buy from Crucial again, their memory has worked well on one of my computers.

People the reason it wont work with BX boards and the like is those chips do not support high density memory (which is cheaper to make, and therefore sells cheaper). I would suggest crucial or mushkin for you BH6.

Get some Mosel from John. It's worth it. And it's about the same price as that Crucial stuff...
