I just spent good money on a micron 128mb PC2700 and it doesn't work.
It is bad memory or is it the wrong type of memory for this Sis735
board?

Here is the data:
Specifications of Micron: MT4VDDT1664AG-335

Pin Count: 184-pin
Version: Unbuffered
Package: DIMM
Speed: PC2700
Configuration: 16 Meg x 64
Data Rate 333 MT/s
CAS Latency: 2.5
Votage: 2.5V
Component Config: 16 Meg x 16
ECC: Non ECC
Module Ranks Single Rank
Component Count: 4
Part Status: Production

If the memory module is fine (and the best way to know, is to put it in
another machine and see if it will post), yes it will work - albeit not at
333, but at
266 (PC2100). Some of the K7S5A's have a memory slot issue - And I'll assume
that you tried both slots - with no SDRam in the other slots. Try it with
the most relaxed memory settings - go a step further and reset your bios.
Which BIOS are you using?? GL

I gave up. Be suspicious of memory modules with only 4 chips on
them. I went to Best Buy yesterday and picked up a PNY 512mb PC2700
for $69 after rebate.
