I Need Help Finding Ram For My Motherboard

    I just bought an ASUS TUV4X motherboard on ebay... I have all the parts I need for it such as a processor, hard drive, sound card, etc. The only thing I do not have for it is ram. I'm trying to find the right ram for it. I want to buy two sticks of 512MB PC133 SDRAM so it can have a total of 1GB, which is all I want for now. I believe it takes PC133 SDRAM but am not 100% sure what kind I should get or stay away from because I can't understand the extra specifications of PC133 SDRAM when I go on ebay or other online stores. Some memory listings show extra specs I don't understand like 18 chips, 16 chips, 64x4, 64x64, 32x8, 6 Layer, dual in line, low density, high density, etc. I'm trying to make sure I don't waste my money and time buying the wrong ram. I'd like to make sure that I buy the best, fastest, and most reliable sticks for my motherboard without breaking my wallet. Please help me find the right type!

    Here's a link to my motherboard's manual in case it helps:

    Your choice will work in that mobo.

    You can go here to Crucial, they have a great memory matcher, here is yours...This is the recommended one or you can get the super fancy one by clicking on the "max it out" button on the following link.

    The different specs refer (at least some) to the variable types of memory and the adjustments (built to overclock) on the mobo itself.
    This special memory is for intensive multimedia support

    Thanks for the reply... I kind of understand things a bit better now. But can I ask what does 64x4, 64x64, 32x8, and all those type of specs mean. & yes I will be needing the ram for some HIGHLY INTENSIVE audio editing/engineering, and photo/video editing programs.

    So I need the best I can get before I end up spending my well earned cash.
