does anyone knoe if this is a good motherboard? I am thinking of getting it because it can hold 768 megs ddr ram and I am considering a Xi computer.

That is not a name of a motherboard, rather those are some features of a mobo, which tells me it uses the ALI MAGIK1 chipset, supporting DDR266 (P2100) SD-RAM and ATA-100.
this is not a bad chipset, but most think AMD760 is better.

The question is - What motherboard exactly are you talking about? make and model, so we will know what it is. Is it the ASUS A7A266? or something else? I think there at least 10 magik1 boards availabale...

edit: bad typos

I have no idea, this is the info provided by Xi Computers. It is the only one available they ha ve that can support 768 megs. Another they offer is AMD 761, but this has I think 2 DIMMs.

The only reason I am considering getting a Xi is because it has support for 768 megs whereas Micron only 512. Should I just go with a Micron and be safe?
