Heyo. I recently just purchased an M1000 motherboard at the DSL store, along with a power supply and an adapter. All I need now is memory, but when I was attempting to order a 1 gig stick, I was informed of compatibility issues with the chipset. From here I learned that there is registered and unregistered memory, and that makes buying a little more confusing.

So my question is, will the board work with any generic, unregistered PC2100 chip? If not, where can I find memory registered for the Via CLE266 chipset?

DDR memory (such as the PC2100) is a lot better about compatibilty than the old SIMM and DIMM modules were.  99% of the new motherboards don't care if the memory is registered or not.  As long as you get a good quality chip and don't put too much memory in one slot then it should work just fine.  For more info, see VIA's website:

As far as getting good memory, check out Newegg.  You should be able to get a nice stick of memory with a lifetime warranty fairly inexpensively.
