I was browsin the egg and saw this, why is it for AMD system only and would it work in my Athlon XP?

It uses BGA chips, and I don't see why they have a disclaimer that states 'AMD only memory'. I have a 1GB DDR333 SODIMM w/ BGA chips in my 700m.

BTW the last time I checked the Athlon XP was mfg'ed by AMD. 😛

Yes I know but an Athlon XP is old I didn't know if I needed a new athlon or what.

AXP is AMD, correct? 😕

In reality..I checked their website but didn't see anything pertaining to being for AMD based systems only. I would ASSUME that it will work with your system as the XP's were 266 or 333mhz FSB.

thats strange, never seen ram made specifically for one brand of cpus. I see no reason why it wouldn't work on intels. googled it and couldn't find anything other than wintec ram sucks

😵 that's quite strange... It's DDR333 RAM anyways, so bleh on that.
