A7V and three full DIMM slots

[FiberOptik]

A while back when the KT133 was all the rage I had read several reports of the kt133 not functioning correctly with three or more dimm slots populated. Is this in fact true?

I was also wondering if intermixing SDRAM might cause stability problems. I am currently running 512megs of ram. I have one Crucial 256MB PC133 2-2-2 stick of ram. One Crucial 128MB PC133 2-2-2 stick. Thrown into the mix is a mushkin PC133 2-2-2 stick with infineon memory chips. Do you think this might cause instability for my computer?

I got the k7v and are running 2 256 windbond chips (2-2-2, 7ns) and used to run with a 128 mb apacer (3-3-3, 7,5ns) and ran at 133 mhz, cas2, and 4way interleave on. No stability problems at all (although this was in win2k). Im currently running the 2 windbond chips now.

Hey FiberOptik,

I was using an A7V for about a year. I had all 3 DIMM slots populated. I was running 1 x 256 + 2 x 128 = 512 for a while then eventually got to 3 x 256. Everything always ran fine.

In my case, all the memory was the same PC133 CL2 stuff from Crucial, so perhaps that was to my benefit, but I've also run multiple DIMMS with different memory chips in an Abit KA7 (KX133 Chipset) and had no problems.

All the RAM you have seems to be very high quality stuff so I don't imagine that you should have any problems.

Hope that heps a little
