It can either be DDR400 2T or DDR333 1T. You wont get DDR400 1T with 4 dimms populated in any available A64 cpu. Doesnt matter whether its double sided or single sided. It wont wont do 1T anyway.

Edit: So if u want 2G RAM right now, get 1Gx2. The best deal right now is crucial ballistix/value. Cos those are the only 1GB sticks that overclock. The rest suck :p.

Linky.... AFAIK ppl at xs are crying like crazy that no cpu can do 1T DDR400. Thats why most of them are buying 1GB crucial ballistix for oc'ing.

2-300MB/s of bandwidth :p. 2T 2-2-2@250MHz = 1T 3-3-3@250MHz :p

yeah even on venice 1t isnt possible with all slots populated. 2t is about the same as reducing clocks by 10 mhz odd or so i guess.

^^ I agreee..even that thread, there is no where mentioned about running 4 sticks (single or double sided) in 2T!!
