Does AMD Dual Core fix the 4 Stick Memory Problem?

[willhart]

Hey guys I was wondering if the new AMD Dual Core chips fix the 4 stick memory problem?

Currently right now I have a Asus A8V socket 939 motherboard. I have 1T ram, but when I stuck in 1T ram into all 4 slots it lowers the speed and forces it up to 2T, or else it won't run.

I heard some of the newer AMD chips fixed this problem, but I was wondering do the dual cores fix the problem?

Thanks for the help.

You can run 4 dimms @ DDR400, but it will be @ 2T unless you can find 4 dimms of single-sided RAM.

yeah, if you have single sided dimms, usually the 256mb sticks or less, you can run 4 at ddr400 1T

The Memory Controller has been updated as new cores have been introduced.

Thanks guys that's good to know. I just didn't want to buy a new dual core AMD CPU and find that my DDR 400 has to run underclocked and at 2T rates.

We have had single sided PC3200 400MHz 512MB modules for some time now.
