I'm planning on buying the asus K8V-SE deluxe MB.
In the manual I've downloaded it says it has 4 memory sockets.
But the picture in the manual and web show 3.
So is it 3 or 4 memory slots?

It has 3 slots, but you should only use 2 of them if you have
double-sided dimms and you want to run the memory at 400Mhz. They
have a table on the hardcopy manual that shows which slots you should
fill if you are running it at 400Mhz.

If you really want 4 slots you need socket 939 or 940, but the price
on those is pretty ridiculous.
