Bank Interleave question: [SPD, 2 BANKS, 4 BANKS]... say what?

[bupkus]

Right now I have 2-128MB Mushkin Rev1.5 running a Thunderbird 900@933 with a 133FSB with the default SPD.
What are these options and which can I try?

Also, I'm giving this memory to my nephew and replacing with 1-256MB Crucial PC133 CL=2.
Will those options change when I swap the SDRAM?

anyone?

ya 4 banks and turn the other options up too, if it doesnt boot just hold ins as you power on and turn it back down.

The SPD setting uses the little rom chip on the memory modual to determine the settings for your memory. If I remember right a bank is 64MB, so you would adjust 2-bank or 4-bank interleve according to how much memory you have.

Here's a link that will tell you about interleaving, it's for abit boards but all bios will be basically the same for the memory settings: http://www.apushardware.com/faqs/kt7faq/kt7faq.htm. When the page loads, go to the bios section on the left side, then you'll see about interleaving on the 10 th line down. Hope this helps.
