2GB of memory possible in Athlon64 motherboard?

Just for the record, only today I had to cut a P4 system back from DDR400 to DDR333. There were three double-sided DIMMs in it, running on a single-channel chipset (SiS 648). Unsurprisingly, Memtest+ reported tons of errors. Kicked the BIOS back to Manual mode and forced to DDR333, sorted.

Good choice on the case. The Sonata is a really nice case. May have to get one when I get tired of my Chieftec-clone. Just remember that on the Antec TruePowers, when it says the Fan Only on one set of the molex connectors, they mean it. I figure you probably know better than try to hook a hard drive into them, but you'd be amazed how often people aren't paying attention and mix those up with normal power connectors. I myself once hooked a variable speed fan switch into one of those connectors, and somehow caused the wires going from the switch to the fan to catch fire. It was a processor fan, too, so I have much appreciation for the thermal diode on the Athlon XP after that incident.

Yeah I noticed those connectors... Thanks for the warning!

the motherboard has the same kind of thing built in as well, I'll probably hok up the casefans to those fan-only molex connectors and let the board handle the cpu cooler.
