jbash Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've just acquired this mobo and it run fine. I've also bought a RAM module Corsair VS1GB533D2 (1GB PC-4200 533MHz CL4) but it is recognized as a 512MB RAM module. By BIOS and by O.S. (Ubuntu 8.04) Reading LN10000EG User Manual I found : "Due to the hardware limitation, DDR2 SDRAM chips organized as 128Mb x 8 bank cannot be supported by EPIA products with CN700 and CX700M2 chipsets." (pag. 3) Is VS1GB533D2 Corsair module organized with 128 Mb banks ? I cannot found any technical specs about it ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yes, this module is based on 128M x 64. I've just acquired this mobo and it run fine.

jbash Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes, this module is based on 128M x 64. Mmhh. I'm a bit confused :confused: I've found another 1GB RAM module sold by a competitor. It's detailed tech specs report: "128M x 64 , the components on this module include sixteen 64M x 8-bit (16M x 8-bit x 4 Bank) DDR2-533 SDRAM" Perhaps this module is compatible with LN10000EG because it's organized with 16 banks of '64Mb x 8' each. LN10000EG User Manual report that are not compatible 1GB module organized with 8 banks of '128Mb x 8' each I suppose that simple sentence "128M x 64" is not enough to describe the internal memory organization. Have anyone more details ? I don't found in Corsair website any technical specifications ..... :[pouts::[pouts::[pouts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 You won't find any detailed specs, as they use whatever IC is readily available. As such, I'd guess that the bank count may change, but I'd await for an official confirmation on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 3, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 3, 2009 Mmhh. I'm a bit confused :confused: I've found another 1GB RAM module sold by a competitor.

Have anyone more details ? I don't found in Corsair website any technical specifications ..... :[pouts::[pouts::[pouts: In this case, the 128M means that eight 128MB density ICs were used to make the module. This module is seen by the chipset as a single sided module which presents the density issue to the chipset. This spec you listed: 64M x 8-bit means that the module is electrically 2 sided and has eight 64MB ICs totalling 512MB x 2 to make a 1GB module.
