Hi!

Upgrading an old K7VZA Rev. 3.0 motherboard, I've tried a 512MB DIMM
(64Mx72 PC133 SDRAM, CL3, ECC, registered) but the BIOS doesn't see it.

Did I just run into a limitation of the K7VZA? Or is such
a DIMM expected to run fine on this board---and probably broken if it
doesn't?

Unfortunately I cannot test the DIMM with another machine.
Anyone with a more intimate knowledge of this mobo out there?

Thanks a lot,
Nikolaus

This M/B is reported to be very picky with PC133 ram. Corsair is good.

Bad news :-/ Do you have a link or pointer at your hand?
The DIMM in question here is an Infineon Chip, BTW
(HYS72V64300GR-7.5-C2).

Thanks,
Nikolaus

I don't believe this board supports ECC SDRAM. Apart from that it should
work fine with up to three non-parity memory chips.
