I think it was on the Kinston website where it specifies which board/memory combinations are "supported" by Kingston. (Sorry, but I do not have the link any longer) Which is why I have 4*512Mb instead of 4*1Gb, 'cause the 1GB's that were supported are a LOT more expensive. And yes on my 242 board I'm running PC2700 since that is what was specified. --WjW ----- Original Message ----- From: "James R.
