Plug it in and go for it.

A faster memory can be used in a slower application.

Ok the memory is working...no suprise there. Thank you who replied.
Then I come to the next issue. I am trying to install windows XP
64bit. And I using a SATA drive. My sata driver files are on
floppy. I boot from CD and start the install. I am running a USB
floppy drive since this motherboard does nto support a classic floppy
connection. But alas while the bios seems to see the floppy drive
when I hit F6 in the OS install and go to it, nothing happens on the
floppy.

Any ideas. I suppect usb drivers not coming in correctly at this
point in the install.

Thanks,
David

Isn't the white connector on the right in this picture, the floppy
connector ?

If you needed to integrate drivers into an install CD, maybe you
could use Nlite. Drivers have to be in "INF" form, which means an
INF plus associated folders with the files needed in them.

http://www.nliteos.com/guide/part2.html

I've disabled the floppy controller in the BIOS, on a motherboard,
and then was able to assign A:\ to a USB floppy, but that is not
quite the same thing as what you're trying to do. I don't know
if USB would be accessible during that phase of an install.

As for the VT8237, I assume it always needs a driver, and I wasn't
able to find any references to a driver-less install onto a
SATA disk when VT8237 is involved.

Nothing happens, meaning that the floppy drive is not accessed when
you type 'S'?

Does the directory listing of the floppy show the following files?

02/15/2008 05:04p <DIR> .
02/15/2008 05:04p <DIR> ..
03/08/2007 05:46p 3,196 txtsetup.oem
02/15/2008 05:04p <DIR> VISTA
02/15/2008 05:04p <DIR> x64
02/15/2008 05:04p <DIR> x86

During the text phase of Windows setup, access to all drives are
performed via BIOS interrupts.

Thanks everyone...the guy who was plugging this together for
me...missed the floppy drive connection. I send him the same link
posted here and the machine is now fully loaded.
