Yes it does.

Can't link to it though as it's on a competitor.

Really

Never seen that in my life

Samsung, Hynix, Micron, Infineon amongst others make it. It's usually labelled as PC2-3200 sometimes with a U on the end. There's loads on the bay.

I think the overwhelming answer is................................We don't know!!

I don't think anyone has bought any of this stuff especially as AM2 recommends pc4200 and above. Personally i would have thought no.

There's 2GB (4 x 512MB) of it in my test PC. It's Samsung and cost me £75. I think it came out of a Dell server that was upgraded.
