Bad news: There is no such motherboard.

Good News: What you are taking to be a "1" is actually an "I."

That most likely makes it the:

Asus A8N-LA/Nagami2L-GL8

... or:

ASUS A8N-LA (NAGAMI 2L-GL8E.)

This is a motherboard used in many HP (Hewlett Packard) and Compaq computers.

Now the memory you are asking about is the right speed and the right style to be used in your machine, but the build of the modules could be problematic. The number of chips on each module (high density or low density) can have an impact on compatibility.

If you want guaranteed memory compatibility you should buy from a trusted source. I picked a random Compaq system that uses your Asus A8N-LA/Nagami2L-GL8e motherboard:

Compaq Presario Media Center SR1910NX:

... and went to Crucial.com to find memory for you:

... you can just enter your computer's model number into the selector there, if you want to verify that the following memory specs for your system are correct:

Speed supported: (DDR400/DDR-400) PC-3200 MB/sec
Type 184 pin, DDR SDRAM

Whenever you have a board that was built for a big name system builder, such as HP or Compaq, your odds of finding anything about it on the motherboard maker's website aren't very good.

Lucky for you I was familiar with this issue, or the AsusTek Nagam 12L 2.00 Motherboard might have remained a mystery forever. ;-)


Enjoy your increased memory.

P.S. The Asus A8N-LA/Nagami2L-GL8e has a max capacity of 4GB of ram. If you are running a 32 bit Windows operating system you can only "see" or use 3 Gigs. The best setup would be 2 matching 1Gig modules and two matching 512MB modules. If you keep all modules in mathed pairs you can enable "Dual-Channel" mode. This will improve your system performance. Just a note.

Find a different model number for the motherboard. That one is not specific enough. What does CPU-Z tell you?
