HC1Gunner Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 1. I'm currently running TWINX1024-3200XL under dual mode. If I want to add anoter 1 GB of mem which modules should I go with? 2. If I want to add anoter 2 GB of mem which modules should I go with? I'm going to keep the current 3200XL in my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 17, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 17, 2005 You cannot mix memory with AMD 64 ot it may not post. So if you add more memory they would need to be the exact same part#. In addition, if you add or use 4 modules this system by default will run at DDR333 and you would need to relax the timings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to make a change with this mobo and 4 modules (4GB)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the below at a tech review, am I to understand this is true with all E3 revised 90nm CPU's? "The new Venice core, or E3 revision, is a bit different compared to the previous 90nm Winchester release, and offers not only a higher clock speed ceiling, but also an updated feature set and higher performance. The integrated memory controller has been given an overhaul, and it now includes support for mismatched DDR DIMMs and the population of all four sockets at DDR400 speeds".

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 7, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 7, 2005 Well yes, but I have seen where AMD still suggests DDR333 with more than 2 modules if someone is having a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
