4x512MB on Abit IS7-E mobo

[BespinReactorShaft]

I currently have 2x512MB on my IS7-E mobo and am considering an upgrade to 2GB. I'm slightly 😕 about the whole 1T vs 2T timing issue, so I've some n00b questions:

-- from what I've read the 1T->2T downgrade only occurs on AMD chipsets, is this correct?
-- if so, my P4-based mobo should currently run at 1T, right?
-- if I add another 2x512MB, will I still be running at 1T?

Thanks.

The 1T/2T limitation only occurs with A64 based chips (Opteron/X2/A64/Sempron). Your P4 system should handle 4x512 with no problems, and at 1T.

Check your manual for any specific limitations that your board/chipset may have (DIMM Size, chip size, etc..).
