Ebay sells a lot of sticks that use 128Mx4 chips. The proper kind of chips to use is 64Mx8. The Nforce2 only has addressing capability, to work with a 1GB stick with 64Mx8 chips on it. The major memory makers, will not make DDR 1GB modules with 128Mx4 chips on them. They only use 64Mx8 chips. Which is why, when you get these modules from Ebay, they are "generic" and don't have a recognized brand name. This is an example of a proper 1GB module, from Kingston. Says 64M x 8. http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR333X64C25_1G.pdf (fromhttp://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID...) HTH, Paul you've hit the nail on the head Paul. it is indeed a 128Mx4 "high density" module. and it was from ebay although it's got samsung plastered all over the stick. thanks for looking this up for me. p.s what's HTH? |
