Do you have to have 2 sticks of RAM for the AMD 64 CPU?
I just wanted to make sure that I could use my
old 3500 DDRAM with my new mobo and cpu. Thank you, Wayne |

Been using a single stick of 3200 Mushkin on an MSI FIS Neo. Works great
and I run the FSB at 215 all day (and night). Don't know that two sticks would be any better since my AMD64 3000+ only uses a single channel memory controller. I'm too cheap for Opteron or FX.

Not cheap, just smart. They're too expensive. Besides there are changes coming soon to the Opteron/FX boards, namely the Socket 939. DougH |

It will still use the 940 and registered ram. The 64 and FX will move to 939. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Only the FX will move to the new socket, the 64 is it's own breed so to speak. Dan |

Athlon XP's are also moving to 754 according to this for some strange reason. http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1985 -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
