What'll happen to my GA-K8NF-9...

[Sqube]

I've currently got 2x512 Corsair Value Select in my box, and I'd like to go up to 2 gigs. To do that, I was planning on purchasing another 2x512.

Will anything... untoward happen? Refusal to POST? Coming of the Apocalypse?

As always, any and all help will be appreciated.

Not really. Data rate might drop to 2T, and if you've got a core before revision E it will drop to 333 mhz.

Will I have to do anything, or will all of that be handled automatically?

Will there be a noticeable drop in performance?

Ctrl+F1 then p-lay with it as described in the Mobo Forum

Play with it where though? I did a search for the K8NF-9 (not extensive, but I did look) and I didn't see anything that explained what to do when your GA-K8NF-9 has all 4 DIMMs filled.

Set command rate to 2T in the BIOS (unless all the settings are at Auto) and make everything clocked to stock speeds.

Only works with PS2 Keyobords...I have the Ultra so dunno bout yours..

I've got an old PS2 keyboard lying around, plus I've got the USB --> PS/2 adapter that I'm using.

Lonyo, thanks for the heads up. I'll give that one a try once I get home this evening.
