Rick, no one said that he couldn't put 256MB sticks in. It has been shown that the I3500 can use 2 x 256MB PC100 sticks.
leduke30 has already done this and reported back on his results HERE. So it seems the Max memory is actually 512MB even though the official stance is 256MB.

Can't tell from those specs. Call them. Ask if it's low density and how many chips per side. If they say 4 per side, it will NOT work. Or stop wasting your energy and get it from Crucial as was suggested. :smileywink:

Actually, ejn63 did above. But I had forgotten that leduke30 had reported that.
