I've just purchased an ASUS A8N-E Motherboard. On page 15 it states

Due to CPU limitation, DIMM modules with 128Mb memory chips or double-sided x16 chips are not supported in this motherboard

I suspect some of this is saying that I can't use the cheap high-density sticks that you see on eBay.

However, Imy intention is to add two 1GB sticks of branded "value" memory and I can't tell whether any is suitable.

For example:

Corsair VS 1GB - uses 128M x 64
Crucial - not stated
Geil Value - uses 32x8
OcUK Value - not stated

Does this mean that the MoBo won't work with Corsair, will work with Geil, with Crucial and OcUK being unknown.

If I'm interpretting this correctly, the Asus seems a pretty rubbish board and I should consider returning it.

I'm confused - please help.

Thanks,

Nigel
 
It is nothing to worry about, my A8N book says the same thing (I'm using 2 x 1GB of Corsair C2PT, also listed as compatible modules in the manual).
