Hi,

I had two 128M PC133 SDRAM modules in my K7S5A. One module has
failed.

I'm not sure what to buy to replace it (ECC or not)? What brands work
well with this m/b?

TIA, M.

No, it doesn't (seem to) take ECC. Mine is quite happy with a single 512MB
stick of PC2100 with the BIOS set to 133/133 as the memory speed.

Some people have problems using two stick of SDram in the K7S5a.
Before you buy new ram, try reversing the sticks or try each alone to make
sure that there really is a bad stick.
Overall, you would probably be better off buying a 256MB SDram 133 stick or
go to PC2100 or higher.
I use a 256MB PC133 CAS2 stick and an 128MB PC100 CAS2 stick and run them at
138MHz with no problems at a Normal setting.
I have a K7S5a rev 1.3 and a XP2100+ Palomino.
If you go to crucial.com, it will tell you what sticks will work on your MB.
