Any of the socket 939 boards can take all 4 DIMM slots fill without problems?

I like the Epox boards, EP-9NDA3J or the EP-9NDA3+. Even the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. However, any one knows if I would have problems with 4 sticks of 512MB OCZ PC4000 Rev. 2? It seems like these boards have problem with two slots out of the 4? I might be wrong, so please enlighten me.
Thanks.
 
If you are going to fill all of the slots use the ram recommended by the board manufacturer. You'll probably have less chances with incompatibilities. Also, if you want the ram to run at DDR400 then the ram must have chips on just one side (single-sided).

Almost all the 512MB Sticks have chips on both side.
 
I don't own a board but it seems that with three or more stick you can run into trouble. I would suggest selling your memory and buying two 1GB sticks instead.
 
I am running these same 4 sticks in my Intel Abit AI7 board right now at 412FSB. So it's obviously a problem with the AMD boards.
I guess I will wait before spending a fortune on the 2X1GB sticks.
Thanks.
 
It's not a problem. Follow the manufacturers recommendations and you're set. If you bought that ram when it was cheap, then you might be able to make a few bucks on it if you were to sell it.
 
I was not able to find any single sided 512MB sticks, so I had to give up on having 4 x 512MB, as they will only run at 333FSB, due to memory controller limitations. And I wasn't able to find much compatibility info on 1GB sticks with my board, so I didn't want to risk it. I ended up with 2x512MB...
