Post #306,591 by drook 4/2/09 9:38:41 AM Reply	Oh well, just lost $30 Turns out the Tabor MP440BX had several revisions. Mine is the 4000444. The 4000569 (or maybe 4000560) revision supported faster CPUs and more memory. I can't find any documentation saying it should take more memory, but saw forum threads where people had that board and tried the memory and it worked. Mine does have a memory controller that can handle the 256MB sticks, but the board itself won't. I suspect that the hardware might actually be able to handle it, but the latest available BIOS update is dated 11/30/1999. Once the newer boards were out, they stopped updating the BIOS. -- Drew

I'm not sure how many were in that pack to start, but I'd guess he's still got at least ten more of them he's trying to unload. I'll just take it as a learning experience, and maybe list them on ebay myself, try to recover some of it. -- Drew
