I have a transcend 512 mb DDR400 memory…i want to upgrade to 1gb ram in a dual channel memory config..now the problem is tht my DIMM is a double bank design…and from what i’ve found out, if i use two such similar dimms, it’ll perform at 333 mhz rather than 400…?
Is it true? If so..is thr a way out?help me out guys… :huh: :huh:
post ur mobo…if thts the prob…u can do nuthin but overclock it..
Well i didnt try it out on my system…i read about it in a lot of forums..so now i guess, its my turn to find out..
Oh..yes…my mobo is ASUS P4P800DELUXE…
dont think you should have such problems on your mobo
Yup…i think ur board can run dual channel at 400mhz
i kno it can run dual channel at 400mhz…the thing is tht it runs single sided DDR400 rams at 400mhz in a dual channel mode…whether it’ll also run the double sided rams at 400mhz in a dual channel mode is what i want to kno…anyone tried it?
It should…
i thnk u misundrstood me???
dont remember intel configs having this problem so you should be ok using 2 double sided dimms.. only thing is that if you overclock , ie more than 400Mhz you will lose pat ..
noah..i dont oc ever..period!! Havent even enabled PAT in the bios…quiet happy wid the stock speed..
Btw,if i were ever to enable the memory acceleration mode, will my transcend Dimm handle it properly cos the bios gives a warning about possible h/w damage in case it is enabled…
where do you get such a warning ? dont recall noticing anything like that
anyways dont think transcends should have problems handling pat
yeah, enable memory accelaration. What bios says in the info is there to ignore
It gives nice extra juice for p4p800.
And the problem with running 4 double sided DIMM in DDR400 is more prone for Athlon64 and its architecture. Not so much for P4 and INtel Chipsets.
