o  Motherboard: ASUS A7V8X-X

o  RAM: 2 x 1GB Corsair DDR 333MHz DIMM  (as per the motherboard manual)

At first I tried 1GB ADATA Premier Series DDR 333 MHz DIMM, but that stick
failed memtest pretty spectacularly, which is why I switched brands. I didn't
go with 400MHz since only some brands are approved for that motherboard by
ASUS (or only some when the manual was printed). On this count I plead not
guilty.
