I have an Intel Pentium CPU, and I want to build a system. I found this ABIT AW8D motherboard which I think I can get really cheep:

The same guy has some DDR2 memory:

Is this memory good for this motherboard?

The manual (ftp://ftp-usa.abit.com.tw/pub/download/manual/english/aw8d.zip) for the board indicates it is compatible with 667 MHz (PC2-5300) DDR2 memory (page 2-12), however what processor model do you intend to use?

Also, a search for the memory part number of 73042 at Crucial.com (http://www.crucial.com) did not yield any results. It might be prudent to first confirm with Crucial that the memory is legit.
