a64 single/double sided memory question

[dheffer]

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting new ram for my computer.
I have a GA-K8NS nForce3 250 chipset based motherboard with a 130mm a64 socket 754 cpu.
Right now I have a stick of 512mb muskin pc3200 and its working fine, but I'm looking at getting 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX 512mb and I'm wondering if it'll work in my computer.
I know that there can sometimes be a problem with running double sided memory (2 sticks at a time) and I"m just checking to see if anyone knows for sure if this stuff will work or not.
Below here is a guide to what ram will work, but I'm not really positive about it.

The ram says that its "Single-bank 512MB modules (Up to two modules per system is supported)" But I just want to make sure that two of these will play nicely together.
Any information that anyone has would be great, the modules are "Kingston 512MB PC3200 400MHz 64x64 HyperX DDR"
I've tried searching but I can't find any conclusive answers, and before I drop a load of money on this ram, I'd like to make sure.
Thanks!

You should be fine using two modules total.

well i got the 2nd stick of muskin, but as i feared, it wont run any faster than 166mhz stock
any way to get around this? the dimms are in slot 0 and slot 1
thanks...

bump cause im confused because i thought they were single sided

Are you saying you bought a second module of ddr400 and it won't run any faster than ddr333?

 

[dheffer]

Sure am.
I've seen this before with a64 mobos but i really thought it'd work, anyone know whats up? Ive seen like a hundred other treads on this, but these are suppose to be single sided...

I think the Gigabyte mb you have has a problem with ram. Do a search, I'm pretty sure of it.

I've tried this with different ram, and in a different computer - a socket 754, it couldn't use 2 sticks at 200, either.
