russr, The reality is you can get by with 1GB of memory. Of course 2GB would be better for video editing (which I do a lot) and most modern games will appreciate it (which I do too much). 2GB might also by you some extra time between rig upgrades but you should be fine with 1GB in the near...

Well the new 1011-005 Beta Bios for the a8n-sli Premium board fixed the problem for anyone out there trying to get 4GB of memory to work on this board with XP64. Of course this is causing a problem with XP32 but I do not care that much. For some reason now the problem has switched to XP32...

tscenter, The only problem I have is that when the hardware over 4GB memory hole remapping option (in the bios) is enabled, the OS will reboot the second that it is started. I can use the software memory remapping option in the BIOS and see 3GB vs the 4GB when hardware remapping (at least...

Fully loaded with 64 bit drivers for everything. No problems with xp64. Works great and have not had any problems. The remapping problem seems to be more of a bios issue. I barely get into the OS boot and the system reboots. I have tried to enable boot logging but it does not get far enough...

Just switched back up to 4GB and was wondering if anyone was having a problem with the H/W (Hardware or CPU) 4G remapping option in the bios. The S/W (Software) bios option works but the BIOS and XP64 only post 3GB. With the H/W remapping options the BIOS allows all 4GB to be used but the...

Peter, I would usually agree but what could possibly be using almost 2GB of memory addresses? Why when I have only three sticks (2* 1GB sticks and a 512MB stick) does the system post 2.5 GB vs 2.3GB with 4 sticks. I have done the math with all the devices in my computer (got the space used...

Steelski, I have an AMD X2 4400 @ 90nm - Toledo - Revision JH-E6. Should have 6 steps with the E6 revision and two of my memory sticks are double sided (1GB) and two are single sided (512MB) in physical design. Called Patriot and they said the models are dual and single bank respectively to...

Patrick, Got this thing for my birthday a week ago and I use it over the onboard sound. It defiantly sounds better then the realtek and I am getting an extra couple fps in most games. I was not going to get one of these but t defiantly sounds substantially better with headphones. I was...

Vegito, The chart is not giving me hope and I assume this is memory address allocation for a 32 but architecture, am I correct? Basically to me it says that 3GB of system memory on a 32 bit architecture (i.e. XP32) is as good as 4GB. The problem I am having is imganing that the memory hole...

Steelski, I pulled one of the 512MB memory sticks and the following was posted by the Bios: total=2.560GB and available=2.304GB. As you thought it is the interaction of the Motherboard and the processor. I have tried about every memory timing possible (ddr333, ddr200, 3cas) and is their...

Steelski, I have tried ddr333 at 2t (can got get the computer to boot at 1t with 4 sticks which is common) but I have not tried to mismatch the memory. I will try this out and see what happens after dinner. The memory is also the same brand and model with different sizes (patriot LL ddr)...

Yes, and thus making the extra giga of ram worthless at this time. The problem is I use this computer for two things: games and photo video editing. The extra gig makes a huge difference in performance and my life easier. I use to have 4GB of total memory but the BIOS did the same thing and...

Update on this thread: Well after searching long a hard across the web; I am actually not the only one. There are a couple other souls in pain also. Of course when I remove either the two 1 GB sticks or the two 512MB sticks for a total of 2 GB or 1GB of total system memory, then the posted...

To anyone that wants to water cool your MSI 7800 cards here is the solution to the fan problem. Basically use nibitor (BIOS reading and editing software from MVKtech.net) and edit the 3D to what ever OC you want (500 - 1300). Then go to the temperature tab and turn the fan speed to 0% for 3D...

am8000, Have a 4g remapping option for hardware and software in the bios. I have tried enabling both of the options with no change in the posted memory, defiantly weird. papah
