[QUOTE]
Main Memory
- 144-bit DDR at 200, 266, 333MHz, 400MHz.
- Supports DIMM sizes from 64MB (128Mb x 16 DRAMs) to 2GB on each DIMM slot.
- Supports 4 DDR DIMMs upto 8GB (Registered Memory only)
[/QUOTE]

And the number of people having nothing but trouble from these boards far
outweighs the success stories. You need only look at AMD's support forums to
confirm that. (There's _how_ many threads complaining of constant problems 
at this poitn?)
