The ram is made by Samsung serial number 202 K4H560838C , it also this on the front, M36826423CTL CBO.

My new motherboard is the Asus P4S800.

Reply back quickly please.

If memory serves, if it has one notch at the bottom of the stick then it's DDR, but if it's SD RAM it'll have two notches.

Huh? which part can u jus show me a pic please because i am not a very experienced computing dude.

Cheerz mate.

The stick in the picture only has one notch (circled in red), so it's a DDR stick.

Mate Ur Awesome !!!!!

Really Appreciated !!!!!

iranu beat me to it.

The memory is DDR266 cas 2.5, and the stickers suggect that its 256MB (so i geuss its a 2x256 combination). This should be fine with the ASUS mobo, and compatibility issues are highly unlikey.

Would it be possible 2 buy anova 1 ov them nd make it 1gb ram?

would 2 * 266mhz pc2100's work 2ge4?

[iranu]

Yes you could add another and get 1gb

You might have difficulty sourcing it though.
