4 512 Sticks in NF4 Ultra = DDR333?

[emilyek]

Will they run ddr400 or not? I've seen it talked about both ways. Just wondering

Thanks.

So is it about the 512 stick being double or single sided that makes the difference? If so, can you get 4 single sided 512s and avoid this problem?
Or is it 2 1G or nothing?

I believe primarily it's the Memory controller on the A64, as I've seen people having all kinds of problems with 4 x 512MB on different Manufacturers MB (ASUS, DFI, MSI, etc.). I'm not sure if single/double sided makes a difference.

Even dropping Memory Divider and Memory timings haven't solved the problems for some.

I know if/when I decide to go to 2GB, I'm just going to get 2 x 1GB and avoid all the headaches

As I understand it, if you have a Venice, San Diego, Manchester or Toldeo core cpu, then you can run 4 sticks of Ram @ DDR400 @ 2T

Winchester core and below will run @ DDR333.

Save yourself the hassle & get 2x1024 MB.
