Hi everyone!
I have a technical question relating to DDR memory.
Is it true that most DDR compatible motherboard can only function with *6* banks of DDR memory?
And is it also true that, in general, a single sided DDR module (memory chips on one side only) has one "bank" of memory whereas a double-sided module has two "banks".
Hence, by extension, you can only have a maximum of 3 double-sided or 2 double-sided + 2 single-sided DDR memory modules?
Case in point: I have a Gigabyte 7N400Pro motherboard currently with 2x512mb Kingston HyperX PC3200 (KHX3200AK2/1G) double sided DDR modules for a total of 1GB of system memory.
I wanted to double my memory by buying another 1GB of memory.
I bought the exact same set (2x512mb KHX3200AK/1G) to fill the remaining DIMM slots (four DIMM slots total).
However, that would give me four double-sided DDR modules for a total of.... 8 banks?
So, would that therefore not work in this computer???
