Worked fine on my Soyo PIII motherboard (#SY-6VBA 133) with a VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset, but only after moved to DIMM slot #1 from #3: BIOS recognized only 128MB in slot #3. Most VIA chipsets 1999 or later are compatible (mine is 1999) with an updated BIOS, while Intel BX chipsets are not. You can also search Kingston site by mb model # to check for compatibility.

This is high density module. It works only with a few
mainboards. It does not with the two I have.
Amazon.com - please correct me if I am wrong.

I disconnected my computer, opened it up and plugged in the memory. I reconnected my computer and turned it on and the memory was automatically configured. It works fine - what more can I say? Well I'll tell you - don't worry about the CL2 and CL3 ratings, like I did. I did a little research and CL3 is just fine (like this memory). Unless you are a computer geek and want to make settings in your BIOS for CL2 (which is more expensive, but a little faster) CL3 is the standard for PC 133 SDRAM and comes standerd on most computers that use PC 133 and will work fine.

Needed some good quality RAM to add to my system for making Home movies with my Digital Videocamera and DVD burner ( all bought at Amazon ). Installed it in my system without a hitch. Tried some other brands before and system wouldn't recognise it, etc...with this, I just turned my system off, plugged the DIMM in, and switched the computer on...it immediately recognised the module and I was in business.....great price at Amazon also...with prompt shipping and good packaging on their part.

As the product title states, I purchased this for a customer's Dell Dimension L733R. She needed to upgrade the RAM a bit, and the system would only accept a total of 512 MB (256 MB per slot).

The upgrade went perfectly. Installed the memory, powered up the box, and the memory was detected right away. I love it when upgrades are so effortless... they should ALL be that easy.

This Kingston memory isn't recognized by my computer which is only about a year and a half old. I went and used SimpleTech memory instead which works just fine. I would not recommend this product.

Price was unbelievably low. Had factory seal on package. Installed and ran memtest for 24hrs with no issues. Would buy from this vendor again.

Got this item quickly and in good condition, installed it without trouble and it has worked flawlessly since the installation. Not much more you could hope for.

The description doesn't address the compatabilty issue with your computer. In my case, I purchased two, and had to return them both, since neither was recognized by my computer. Although the seller took them back for full credit, it's still a hassle, and a disappointment that it didn't do what was hoped it would. The rating doesn't necessarly rate the product, since it couldn't be rated because it was not compatable, it's more towards the lack of documentation regarding compatability.

I chose the product from this seller because of their excellent rating and I was not disappointed. The seller contacted me immediately to let me know the product I ordered was not in stock and requested additional information to match me with a different product. They checked and didn't have one to fit, and immediately credited my account. Excellent customer service - one of the reasons I always shop Amazon!
