I will be upgrading the memory on my system and just want to be sure to get the correct type. I believe I need PC100 non-ECC, 168 PIN, low-density, double-sided RAM. Could someone confirm whether this is the right type and/or if there are any other compatibility issues I should be aware of? Here is some information about my system found by visual inspection of the motherboard:

-Legend QDI
-BrillianX 8V
-VIA VT82C692BX -- this is written on a 1 sq. in chip
-VIA VT82C596 -- this is written on a slightly smaller chip

Crucial.com has an online memory calculator to double-check your memory type.

what does the meomory stick that is in it say on it?

a p3 450mhz should have a 100mhz front side bus so most any standard pc100 or even probably pc133 stick SHOULD work as long as you dont buy a huge stick that it cant use. But a 128m stick or two should be fine...

hope this helps
