I'm no at home again at the moment. What i do know is that my motherboard is made by Asus, and all that information from before is exactly what it said on everest... Maybe my PC is a mutant?? :)

No. ASUS motherboards rock, definitely not mutants(it would be pretty sweet if it supported DDR and DDR2 at the same time I gotta admit). When you got time just give me the model number then and I'll tell you what RAM to get.

Just to help add to the tools list of those wanting to know what kind of memory their system uses, or could use:
http://www.crucial.com/
Just use that guide, and follow the pull down menu prompts to your system.
Always good to have more tools to use!!
