nod Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hello Gurus, I have an Asus P4PE with TWINX512-3200LL RAM installed (basically 2 X 256). Questions: 1) Is this RAM single-sided or double-sided? I'd like to upgrade the amount of RAM I've got, but I understand that if it's double-sided, I'm already maxed on the MOBO even though I've got another slot open. 2) Is there anything special I can be doing in my MOBO BIOS to be taking advantage of this high quality RAM? I'm running a P4 2.53. Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 19, 2003 Welcome to the forum! 1. If the modules part# is CMX256A-2700LL then they are single sided. If there is no "A" (CMX256-2700LL then they are double sided. But As I remember we changed to single sided before we released Twinx so they should be single sided. 2. The MB you have is not dual channel so running 2 modules may require that you relax the timings a bit. I would test the system with [url]www.memtest86.com[/url] and probably a safe setting would be Cass 2-3-3-6 with the Dim Voltage set to 2.7 Volts or with 3 modules. But you can try a little more aggressive like Cass 2-3-2-6 with the Rass to Cass set to "3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thank you for your help! The modules are indeed CMX256A-3200LL, which means that they are single sided. Which RAM would you reccomend I put in the third slot in my MOBO? A single 512? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 19, 2003 I would match what you have only in a 512 Meg (CMX512-3200LL). That way you have some options for future upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted December 25, 2003 Author Share Posted December 25, 2003 Worked-out great --- popped the 512 in and now I'm sailing at 1024! My mobo has the RAM set by SPD... it's 2336 I believe. Thx again RG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
