installing rambus memory

[Nintari]

Was reading the manual to the MB and it says it has to be installed in pairs or a terminator must be installed in the empty sockets. I have 4 banks and one 256mb module in one and the c-rimm in the bank right next to it. do I need two more c-rimms to terminate the other two empty banks?

If you have a P4, they're serious about the rambus needing to be installed in pairs. You'll need 2 of those 256mb modules and 2 crimms.

If you have i820, just install the one 256mb rimm and then 3 crimms and you will be good.

You'll have to clarify your systems specs, particularly the motherboard/cpu.

I am using an intel 850 board and a p4 1.4ghz ( it is an actual intel board BTW not asus or other)

Then just as said above, you need 1 more 256 stick, and a total of 2 crimms. Congrats on the Elite status

How much do 'crims' cost. I dont know what they are, but I guess they complete the circuit in the other slots.

Ill stick with sdram, but was just curious.

It's hard to find CRIMMS alone since they should come with the Mainboard

CRIMMs are under 10 bucks a piece. Usually 5-7.
