For what it's worth: I was unable to use memory (2 256Mb PC 2100
modules) from 2 different manufacturers with my ASUS A7N8X deluxe MB
that I had been using without problem on a SOYO Dragon K7V. The A7N8X
would run either stick just fine. In fact the memory benchmarked
considerably better in the ASUS board than it did in the SOYO board.
The ASUS also did not like a 512 MB stick of PNY PC2700 memory I tried.
However, it is very happy with the Simple Technology memory I
installed which is what I am using now. In conclusion I think you could
say that the A7N8X is fussy about the memory you try to feed it. Having
said that I don't at all regret buying it. For 135 bucks delivered FedEx
to my front door how can I complain? That's a bargain.
