I thought Gigabyte was tier-1... Which ones do you

The new one is a Kingston 512Mb 333MHz DDR PC2700.
The old one I don't know the brand (didn't look) but
it was 256Mb 266MHz DDR PC2100.

Hmm... I took a quick look at it and I didn't find the
"fsb jumpers", but I will look more carefully. In any
case, the board is supposed to support DDR400+ memory,
so I assumed it would be fine.
Bill, my power supply is 300 watts... I will check on
that. Thanks. But, would that cause the errors with
memtes86?
Thanks to all for all the help!!
