First, you need to go to Asus, and find out what ram is qualified for your board. Second, go to corsair's site and find out if the ram mentioned above is compatable with your board. Third, go to nforcershq forums and find out if anyone has used that ram on a board like yours, and whether it will work or not, and what timings are needed. fourth, this is posted in the wrong place again.

The Corsair 512MB XMS-3200XL DDR RAM would be much better.

Take out the older memory and sell it. Don't mix different timing and chips if you don't want to have problems. It might work and it might not with yur older memory, but hten you will be forced to use a slower timing then 2-2-2-5..

once again, i have to recommend my own RAM: Geil ULTRA-X PC-4400' ">http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/...p?ProductCode=85002-22. i still don't know why it's so cheap.... it's QUALITY TCCD chips, that go UP TO DDR550 "officially".... what more could you ask for $67?? and it's far from being cheap RAM. it works incredibly fast and well.

I bet it could, usually it just downclocks your ram. Technically I bet your mobo only runs 266 or 333. So if you buy 400 it will just downclock as well. (400=3200)

ok... if it doesn't go any higher than DDR400 (i don't know... pretty much any socket A mobo can go much higher...), you can still run that Geil i recommended as fast DDR400 RAM. that's supposed to be the magic of that RAM: it goes from DDR400 @ 2-2-2 to DDR550 @ 2.5-4-4... they call it "all-in-one RAM". so, it's still a great, affordable option.
