Memory question - DDR400 512MB...
I have a Chaintech 9CJS and now need to buy the memory.
This is what it calls for: -Matched, DDR400, Double-sided DIMMs -Dual Channel Mode (Symmetrical DIMM population) I figured DDR400 is the same as PC3200. (I think.) The manual reads: This motherboard provides four 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual-In-Line Memory Modules (DIMM) slots, which supports PC2100/2700/3200 DDR SDRAM modules up to 4GB. ... But their website says it supports up to 512MB x 4 slots. Let's see... 4 x 512MB = 2.048GB. So I went looking for 1GB DDR400. Because 4 x 1GB = 4GB. It's full, no need to upgrade I figure. Yet the site I was looking at that had that memory said it wouldn't work my board. I went to crucial.com and the largest memory they have listed for this board is 512MB. http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar...ITH&DetailMB=Y &cat=Ram In fact, they say: Max Unbuffered DDR SDRAM: 4096MB What am I failing to understand here? Why does every site say it maxes out at 2.048GB, but the book says it will take 4GB? Where can I get the full capacity of memory to work this? And what is your choice of memory (size and/or brand)? (Price is somewhat irrelevant.) Thanks -- Monkey With A Typewriter http://www.monkeywithatypewriter.com |
