Offhand, I don't know the answer to your question, but I don't see this chip listed on Chuck McKinnis' NICPAK
page

http://pws.prserv.net/mckinnis/nicpak/index.html

which might be the ultimate reference on the subject. That said, it could be that this chip is similar enough
to others in the Realtek family that one of the other Realtek drivers would work for it. (I was surprised to
find the DFE530TX, the NIC I've used for quite some time, under this heading.) You might also put this to Chuck
McKinnis. I think he is responsive to queries.

By now, PC133 may have been replaced as a more standard memory type. It's what I'm using now, but then I have
rarely run the very latest hardware. So, one can likely find higher performance RAM now than this. Other than
that, I'm not aware of any downside. Hopefully it means you'll save a few bucks.
