Boards like the PR440FX and W6-Li work well with the Ultra 5/10 memory (my
main machine here is a Providence running with 256MB of it). Some other
boards, especially the ones in certain HP Vectra and Dell Optiplex
systems, require the other expensive $3/MB stuff. I tried to order some
from Crucial a year and a half back and my order drifted into the aether.
They never restocked the stuff.
