- Opps, sorry "128mb SRAM" should read as 128mb SDRAM

- Hi again,

I am surprised that you rated my solution as "Inappropriate" Perhaps I misunderstood your concern; you are trying to fit a new 256mb SDRAM memory to an ABIT VA6 Apollo 133 Motherboard (roughly same age as a PIII500E). If the 256 works as a 256 in other motherboards or tested good from your supplier and it still reads as a 128 in your motherboard, isn't it obvious that it is not compatible?

The highest bus speed of a VA6 is 150MHz (overclocked) with a standard of 100 for early PIIIs, if your 256 memory is rated at 266 or higher, your MB will not be fully compatible to a newer speed since its highest regular speed is only 133. Pls try an older PC133MHz DIMM Sync DRAM 256MB, 7.5NS, 168-pin memory which would still possibly be available at HMR, SOS or OpenPinoy.

Hope that this shed light on the misunderstanding if any.

Cheers.
