Intel mobo ram compatibility

[1337n00b]

My current motherboard is this:

I would like to get 2 sticks of this ram:

Would there be any problems with the above 1gb versions working? Intel says it only supports the 256 and 512 versions. If it helps, to Intel page says is only supports DS, not SS, for 1gb ram sticks.

Thanks!

It should work. Just because it isn't listed there doesn't mean it wont work. All the modules in that listed have been tested and guaranteed by Intel to work on that board. It doesn't mean those are the only modules that will work in it.

Hi Tom. It's not so much that they didn't test certain models, it's just that for the 1gb sticks the mobo only supports DS, not SS. I don't know what that means so I though it had something to do with 1gb sticks in particular.

I realize that a lot of other top ram brands aren't listed, though very likely to work.

DS and SS stand for Double Sided and Single Sided. If it has ram chips on both sides of the stick, it is Double Sided and if it has chips on only one side, it is Single Sided. The ram you linked to is double sided, and should work no problem in that board.
