I have got this ( http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/albatron-px845e/ ) Motherboard, it has been performing well, no troubles at all (except when i tried to overclock it, it didnt like that) but i recently put in a Crucial 512MB PC2700,

but the motherboard manual says it doesn't accept PC2700, but it seems to be running fine, much better since i put it in (it did just have a 256MB one in)

should i worry?

No, don't worry about it. RAM is backward compatible. You just won't be able to use the full capability of the RAM, but it will work fine.

My Daddy used to tell me:

then it is to open your mouth and prove it.</b>
I never was good at taking advice!
