Dear Bill:

There is information on the memory requirements and the tested vendor list for
the TC430HX motherboard at url:
http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/tc/tc_user.htm
Here is a except from some of the information on the memory requirements, you
may want to look at all the information at the url: 
The TC430HX provides four 72-pin SIMM sockets that make it possible to install
up to 128 MB of RAM. The sockets
support 1M x 32 (4 MB), 2M x 32 (8 MB), 4M x 32 (16 MB), and 8M x 32 (32 MB)
single- or double-sided modules.
Minimum memory size is 8 MB and maximum memory size, using four 8M x 32 SIMM
modules, is 128 MB. Memory timing
requires 70 ns fast page devices or, for optimum performance, 60 ns EDO DRAM. If
the maximum external microprocessor
clock speed is 60 MHz or slower, 70 ns EDO DRAM may be used. Parity, ECC, and
non-parity memory are all supported.
The four sockets are arranged in two banks of two sockets each. The sockets are
designated Bank 0 and Bank 1. Each bank
provides a 64/72-bit wide data path. Both SIMMs in a bank must be of the same
memory size and type, although the different
types of memory may differ between banks.
