Help with fully populated memory banks on Intel MBs

[Mars999]

I am looking at the Intel Bad Axe 2 MB and Asus P5N-E SLI and would like to run 4GB of RAM. So if I run 4x1GB sticks will this throttle down the FSB like AMD does when you run 4 sticks? Or what other problems will I encounter when running a fully populated MB on intels chipsets? Thanks

The FSB is nothing to do with the RAM - it is the Intel CPU bus. AMD processors don't even have one.

Degradation of feasible RAM bus speed and timing as the chip and DIMM count goes up is a physical fact, and no, Intel chipsets do not operate outside the laws of physics either.
