most of the ddr motherboards only have two dimm slots. so with two sticks of 256 megs of ddr memory, you would have 512 megs of ram. i have seen in these same motherboard specs where they will support up to 1 gig or more of ram. so i assume you could use two sticks of 512 ddr. this would give you 1 gig of ram. but at the sites i have been, i have not seen sticks of 512. becuse of this ram limitation, and the cost of the ddr, i went with the asus a7v133 motherboard. it has 4 dimm slots. so i stuck 4 sticks of 256 megs of the pc150 sdram in this system. as you can see this gave me 1 gig of ram. with the unlocked 1.3 thunderbird, and watercooling, this thing rocks. just make sure you have a good ice maker. i have not maxed out the overclocking yet. so i am not sure of my max stable mhz yet. my goal is to hit 1400kns with fritz, in the fritzmark test, with 128 megs hash setting. if not, then i will change my cooling. also another cool feature this motherboard has is the onboard promise controller for raid o stripping. i mounted two of the 20 gig seagates, in raid o using this feature to up my transfer rate. i have just finished this gamer, so it will take me awhile to see how it does at the game sites. but so far so good. this thing should be strong @ 1550 mhz with the chris's new tiger. good luck with yours
