Angry_Games Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Dear All, If customer uses modules with mixed memory size, please request him insert the higher capacity at prior DIMM socket. The highest one is to be inserted into DIMM1; and the lowest one, into DIMM3. Otherwise, there might be instability. This is not a design bug. It is the limitation in addition to the memory transfer speed of K8 CPU. Best, HH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Cleaned up for clarity: For customers using multiple RAM modules with mixed memory sizes, please request that they insert the higher capacity module in the first DIMM socket. The highest one is to be inserted into DIMM1 and the lowest one into DIMM3; otherwise there might be instability. This is not a design bug, it is a limitation in addition to the memory transfer speed of the K8 CPU. Wouldn't using DIMM1 for the highest and DIMM2 for the lowest be fine as well?

Samurai Jack Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I have run just the opposite & with stability, but I seem to get by with things some times. It does make sense for it to be this way. But slot one 256 & slot two 512 works great for me, it also works the other way around & all even at 268 with BH6. It must help others to go in the other order tho. will remember.

sirfergy Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 So if I have two dimms of same size, should I still use DIMM1 and DIMM3? Perhaps that would help CnQ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
