At the very bottom of this document, is a 1GB DIMM with Hynix
chips (HY5DU12822AT-D43) on it, that apparently works with four

Since no one knows how Asus conducts these tests, it is hard
to say whether the QVL has any value at all. I would rather
see a list of brands/models known not to work, than the lists
as they currently stand.
