I want to install 2 gigs of ram (4X512). I think I saw a Gigabyte? mobo that has 4 ram slots.

Do you guys know what other ones has 4 ram slots?
 
I found the mobo I was thinking off
GA-7n400-pro

Also their GA-7N400-L1 has 4 ram slots.

Is there any other mobos by other companies?
I guess I can goto all the web pages... but I just wanted to know the following
If you own a 4 ram slot mobo does it run well with all 4 populated?
How do you like your mobo?
 
the Gigabyte board is the only one with four ram slots. i have one. handy because you can run >2 DIMMs in dual channel mode!!! i have the 7NNXP, the one with llllooooooooadsa features (more than any other nForce 2 board) but the SPP version. love the board so far, although ive never liked that patronising colour coding all the manufs. seem to be insisting on at the moment. i do have one little problem with the PATA raid, but i think its something ive done and not a common problem. haven't tried it with 4 slots populated, but running 2x Corsair 256Mb PC2700 CAS2 in 1 DIMM in each channel
 
I suggest reading the Gigabyte owners' manual (you can download it from here) and check out page 19. According to the manual, as well as a review I read, the board will only see six banks of memory, so that's three double-sided modules, or two double-sided and two single-sided.

You might consider

1) whether you could live with 1.5Gb of RAM (using three DIMMs doesn't disable the dual-channel feature... the motherboard has no choice but to use both memory controllers if there is at least one module on each, unlike an Intel DC board)

2) getting 2 x 1Gb modules.

Hope that helps avoid a costly letdown 😕
 
yeh i saw that before i bought it, you need to be careful about the single sided thing. i always check out manuals before i buy! thanks for the reminder and clarification, mechBgon
 
hmm....
yah I gotta check this out... since I would prefer 2 gigs of ram... may need to check out the MPX...
But I rather play around with a NF2 mobo..
