Dont worry, I just googled it and found out that it isnt compatible.

Supposedly, you should avoid elixir ram as it isnt compatible on most motherboards.

That was a waste of $35

Just asking- I had thought that nowadays there wouldn't be a compatibility issues with RAM, obviously not, but if I say bought something more well known ie. kingston RAM- would it likely to work?

Edit: I just looked at the compatibility list again, and it shows that elixir 512mb 667mhz Ram would work? Does that mean that the motherboard is picky on the type of RAM not just the brand?
