Hi Lurker. The third slot really baffled me. I found a PDF file at Nvidia site re nForce 2 and in it they say one doesn't even have to use the same amount of memory in all slots. They say that their Twin Bank Architecture also supports odd total memory size; eg. 64 MB + 128 MB = 192MB while...

:thumbsup:Megatomic, thanx much. This last statement by you that pointed out that the third slot is addressed separately gives closure to me. Thanks again.

:sun:Megatomic, you failed to answer regarding the third slot. Does that slot have both of the 64 bit memory channels going to it??? Otherwise, please explain how one calculates the memory bandwidth. For the casewhere one of the A chips feeds memory bus A and the other stick feeds memory...

Hi Megatomic, you and Lurker totally agree and I now understand that aspect. I am now looking for further confirmation that both of the two memory busses go to the third slot, and that the memory on that stick gets half of the memory from that stick sent to each of the two busses, AND that...

Thanx, Nyker96, My questions are only academic, totally for my education. I would never have bought such a mobo. I use the info to help in other computer help forums that I go to.

Your reply is great! Just need a little more. I know that with Intel systems if one puts 2 512 MB sticks in as single channel you get 1 GB,AND if you install them in the dual channel slots you still get 1 GB. [I have done this check many times]. Now for Dual channel there really are two...

But then, what happens if one sticks a pair in to the proper slots for Dual Channel and also puts a stick of memory in the third slot????? That's my real question. I was wondering if the new high density memory sticks which have two full banks of memory could have the artwork on the mobo...

All that I have built were even number of slots. First was a Gigabyte mobo with six slots, but a funny rule about what could be put into the thrd pair. The three slots were always related to mobos other mentioned in a computer help forum where I visit frequently and try to help if possible.

:sun: I viewed some manuals back then. None of them made the memory issue very clear. If I remember correctly they were mobos for Athlon XPs which only a few supported dual channel. Intel and the 64 bit Athlons use the eveb number of slotts. Also believe they were VIA chipsets. This...

I cannot find a clear explanation of how one installs memory for dual channel mode in those mobos that have three memory slots. Two slots adjacent to each othe and a space before the other one. Is it possible that it requires [or is accomplished by] use of High Density memory where the...

This is using Win XP Pro all updates. That has been tried a few times and doesn't seem to work. Device Manager always shows the 1.4.1.5 rather than the 1.3.1.3 which doesn't seem to make sense because that the 1.4.1.5 would be a later version driver that probably doesn't really exist. Does...

Using the newest drivers for this controller from Gigabyte and XP. Normally as the computer is booting up, there is a black and white screen where it searches this controller and identifies that there is a Seagate harddrive connected to it. This harddrive all of a sudden within the last week or...
