A7A266: Problems with 1GB DDR Memory?
I currently have 2 sticks of 256MB DDR memory
in my A7A266 with no problems (I've seen many reports of others who have problems). Since my system is fine, should I assume I'm able to use 2 512MB memory sticks without a problem? And can I mix sticks of different sizes - could I have 512MB DDR + 256MB DDR for a total of 768MB? Thanks, P. |

Thanks, P. As you say, you've seen many reports of others who have problems. The A7A266 isn't a particularly tolerant board for DDR memory but I also have had a rock stable configuration with 512MB of Crucial memory. Don't forget there is an undocumented (undocumented on the older boards anyway) jumper near the AGP slot which will put an extra 0.1V onto the DDR memory for better stability if needed. Billh |

Thanks; I read about that jumper already. I must check my motherboard; it's possible this was already set (I bought my PC off-the-shelf). I've seen some 512 MB sticks of Nanya memory which I'll try. Thanks, P. |
