Hey all,

I just purchased some crucial 256MB 133 memory in preperation for my upgrade. I was curious what would happen if I put this chip in my TMC t15vg+ board. The documentation says only 128 memory chips fit....however would it at least register 128 of the 256? Or would it fry the memory?


Thanks,

MasterM

It won't fry the memory. Either it will work and register 128MB of RAM, or just not work at all.
