Hmmm...I wonder, then, why HP listed the max as 512MB x 2 ??

If a company has not tested the motherboard with 1GB sticks, then they may not have rated it as capable of such. That could be the reason for the conflicting info. Paul

Because that is the initial spec Asus provided to them, but Asus goes back and retests new memory while HP doesn't want the support costs. I didn't check Kingston's website, but I checked crucial.com and they don't list your board, but a contemporary KM400A board from Asus on their list shows these as compatible: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=A7V400-MX Your board does not have support for dual channel memory so you don't necessarily even need to buy 2 x 1GB modules, could just buy one and have 1.5GB total, or of course, buy a standard module from someplace with a good return policy like Newegg.com then if it doesn't work you are out the return shipping cost and "maybe" 15% restock fee (they often waive that fee if you call and ask them to). .... or, if you're going to get a new machine anyway you might find the secondary role for this system wouldn't require over 1GB total, it used to be that 1GB seemed like plenty to run WinXP or older.
