I want to know if the Manchester core has the 4 stick ram support like the venice chip. I have a winchester w/ 2 gigs of ram (4 *512) and i'm interested in upgrading if i can force 1T timings on the ram. I appreciate any help.

NO!!!! It will do 400ddr which is better then a kick in the bubbles...

1T command rate will not be possible.

Nope!!! The toldeo has the same memory controller as the manchester, san diego, and venice...does 400ddr with 4 sticks but still only does 2t...

If you need to 2gb I suggest 2 sticks of 1gb...If you have 4 sticks aleady it is not the end of the world..perfiormance hit in everthing except games and superpi is minimal...

Don't worry, you will only lose out about 1-3% gaming performance by having to run in 2T vs. 1T, so it shouldn't be a big deal. 2GB of memory will be a huge help later on when more BF2-ish games come out.
