Quailane Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Hey, I heard that high denstiy 1gb sticks were supported by E stepping athlon 64's. I have a venice, but it only detects a 1gb stick as 512mb! I am running a NF4-DAGF with the 4-14 bios and a 3000+. I have only 1 stick installed; 1GB 128x4 high density pc3200. Is this a bios issue? If so, will updating it fix the problem? Also, how can I update it if I have no floopy drive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure if it will help it.. But I would try a newer bios version.. If so, will updating it fix the problem? Also, how can I update it if I have no floopy drive? Winflash..

RyderOCZ Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I believe most current motherboards will not support 128mbit density sticks....that is why you only see 512 because the board sees it as a single sided module (which it probably is at that density) If you were to get 64mbit density 1GB sticks....you should have no issues.

Quailane Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Well, is there a socket 939 motherboard made by DFI that supports these high density sticks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
repoman Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 What brand are those sticks anyway? I've never seen 128mb sticks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quailane Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 What brand are those sticks anyway? I've never seen 128mb sticks They are just generic stuff I was able to grab at a local store. No wonder they were so cheap, nobody can use them! They look just like regular sticks except the modules say 128x4 on them.

repoman Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 You should have no problem returning them then if you bought them at a regular store... just grab something like the Patriot PC3200 2-3-2-5 sticks 2 for $200 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
