Memory and Abit KT7

[Teatowel]

I have an Abit KT133 motherboard that is really picky about what memory it runs. I have generic memory (cos it's much cheaper here) that ran fine overclocked on my old socket 7 motherboard, but now only one stick works. Do I have to bite the bullet and get decent branded memory?

Cheers.

Well, for the most part i think the board has pretty good support for generic ram, no one has mentioned it yet. However, i did build my g/f's machine on a KA7-100, pretty much the same board for the slot A folk, and i had some problems. I bought some generic, i mean GENERIC, stuff... had to be the lowest quality ever. It was called LD memory. Couldn't get the machine to post with it so i went out and got her a real stick, some atlas precision grade, worked great. You should probably just sell that stick off and buy some quality stuff, with the prices so low and all.

It's alright for you guys n gals over in the States... memory costs a bomb here in the UK..last time I bought something mailorder from the States it got caught by customs and I ended up paying what I would have paid over here!

Thanks for your help!
