As you can tell from the "Topic Summary" I am just curious as I have never seen anything like this in my life. I just recently purchased a KV8-X SE and the memory specifications were crazy. There was a list of "approved vendors" and the corresponding PC3200 sticks they listed but it seemed to me that if your memory wasn't in the list it just didn't work. I have some real nice Kingston Hyper X that refused to work in this new board and I cannot (short of the fact that it's type wasn't on the list) tell why. I am/was using this same memory in an ASUS A78NX-E Deluxe that supports both single and dual channel mode and in dual channel mode it still works great! But put it in this new board 1 or 2 stick (as this board does not support dual channel configuration) and it simply hangs during boot and won't even let you install XP (keeps complaining about not being able to copy files and what not). I have discovered though that short of the PC3200 specification though it doesn't seem to care. I now have some cheap Samsung PC2100 in there and it's working just fine.
What gives? This isn't the first time I have seen this and now I am seeing even vendors who sell memory if it's PC3200 and hasn't been approved by ASUS they have a big huge ALL CAPS notice saying "NOT IN ASUS MOTHERBOARDS".
Can someone please explain this to me?
Thanks.
