From: Rich142^ on 20 Dec 2009 08:32 Hello everyone, I have an asrock k7s8x motherboard with two 512 MB DDR 3.03 DIMM modules. To increase its capacity I want to buy 3 Kingston KVR266X64C25/1G 266MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2.5 DIMM 1024MB for it. Does Asrock k7s8x support them? By the way my Bios isan Amibios P 220 released 10/07/2003.I use windows xp sp 2. Every answer is welcome. Rich

Check Crucial here for what you really need. http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=K7S8X Then check whether you can find those in your country. The Kingston is too slow you need DDR333 minimum.

There is some info here too. http://www.asrock.com/MB/overview.asp?Model=K7S8X FSB 333/266/200 MHz - DDR266, Max. capacity of system memory: 3GB - DDR333, Max. capacity of system memory: 2GB - DDR400, Max. capacity of system memory: 1GB ftp://174.142.97.10/manual/K7S8X.pdf It looks like the operating speed of the memory bus drops when it is loaded up. I think SIS supports async between FSB and memory bus, so the two don't have to be locked together. A higher speed memory might be installed, but it might still operate at DDR266 when three sticks are present. That might be how the BIOS sets it up when "Auto" is used. So you could buy higher speed memory, but the speed might not be fully used. The benefit of buying a faster memory, is it may be easier to sell later. Paul
From: pip22 on 20 Dec 2009 15:28 You can download the ASRock k7s8x user's manual here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=K7S8X It's a pdf document 400kb, and it tells you what ram you can put in it and how much ram in total. Alternatively, go to the crucial memory website, download and run their system scanner tool (click "Scan my system"). It will detect what memory you have, which slots are free, and what type of ram is campatible. They'll also present a list of compatible ram they can supply - with a guarantee that if it doesn't work they'll give a full refund.
