Upgrading memory in older PCs can be a real pain as only certain types and even brands seem to work sometimes. Try to buy it from someone who will refund you if it doesn't work

Check the speed of the memory too i.e. PC100, PC133 or faster
It is probably only PC100. Also is it DIMM or SIMM?

Hope this helps
It's a 66 mhz FSB Diamond Multimedia mobo. It was a last ditch effort for Diamond before they went belly up. PC100 or 133 should work just fine though @ 66mhz. I know it takes regular 168 pin SDRAM, so it shouldn't be too hard. I'm just worried about the stick of ECC memory not working in it. I know the board doesn't support ECC so I am wondering if it will just run as non-ECC or maybe not work at all since it is registered memory. Otherwise, I guess I will be ponying up about $20 more dollars to upgrade it.
