This RAM is incorrect for the SM. The location of the 2 notches indicate the voltage the memory runs at if the RAM is buffered or un-buffered. A PDF of the info is here <http://www.vikingcomponents.com/support/install/169aGen.pdf> If it won't fit in the slot, it wont work in the computer. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
