a small suggestion regarding memory compatibility

[iJeff]

perhaps there could be a stickied list of what memory is verified to work with DFI boards and what memory we know causes trouble (like how corsair has problems).

 

it could list like dual/single channel, how many sticks and in which slots, all that good stuff. I've heard a lot of people have trouble running 4 sticks of memory in all the slots, am wondering myself if anyone's had success. There's really just too much to know about how many sticks work, which memory to use, and which slots to use.

 

a question on the side, (which prompted me to post the main topic of this thread) has anyone gotten the 2x 1GB OCZ Plat 3200 sticks to work in the Ultra-D? I know many people have had luck with the 2x512, but I haven't heard much in the way of the 1GB sticks. I crave lots of ram for games like BF2 and FEAR.

I think it may also be helpful for the most common sticks BIOS settings to be stickied.

Hello,

 

Not finished yet. (must add 2x512MB / 2x1GB sections)

For any Dual channel memory controller it is always best to use 2 matched sticks.

 

4 = a problem due to the AMD memory controller on the CPU, not DFI's fault.

 

What slots?

------------

Always the Orange slots by default.

 

2x1GB kits that work

If you look through the Overclocking Database you'll see which sticks most people are using and work well ..

Yes, I subscribe to this idea.. there are so many RAM manufacturers, each having particular settings working well.
