On this motherboard you can use:
AMD Athlon (Highest being the Athlon 1400C running at 1.4GHz) AMD Duron (Highest being the Duron 1800 running at 1.8GHz) AMD Athlon XP (Highest being the Athlon XP 3200+ running at 2.3GHz) AMD Athlon MP (Highest being the Athlon MP 2800+ running at 2.1GHz) AMD Sempron (Highest being the Sempron 3300+ running at 2.2GHz)
There are more than one version of this motherboard. The following link will take you to a listing of all the K7SOM+ versions (plus other older motherboards from EliteGroup).
Look at the sticks of RAM -- "high" density means fewer chips on each side of the stick, i.e., newer technology and production methods have packed more bits into each chip, while "low" density usually means 8 chips/side, using older RAM chips.
Older motherboards do not expect to find "high" density RAM, and typically will only detect 1/4 or 1/2 of the RAM on the stick.
If you buy a new motherboard, it will support BOTH densities.
