Edit: Im sorry I can't explain it better, but I hope you understand what I mean.

If your board has both sd and ddr ram bays, you can usually only use one or the other, but as stated above, your computer will not likely use anywhere near a gig of ram at any one point anyway.

You guys are totally missing the point.
He's got a Hyperthreaded P4. There is NO way he's using old PC133 SDRAM.
The old Intel 845 boards used PC133, but would not support an HT processor. The new 865/875 boards support HT processors, but not SDRAM.
And to top it off, I do believe the only boards that ever supported both SDRAM and DDR with slots for both was a SiS chipset for AMD Athlons.
