Larryy48 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Hi I could really use some help with his. Was looking at the book for mother board ASUS P4P800S Chipset Intel 848P MCH Said "Double-sided DDR DIMMS with x16 (data buss=16) memory chips are not supported due to chipset limitation." I have Corsair Valueselect Memory VS512MB400 (2 of them). Would this work with the MOBO If you have the time and the answer would also love to know what data buss= 16 is and where I would find this information in memory specs. Thank You Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 16, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 16, 2004 Our VS512MB400 should run great with this MB. And for bios settings and definitions I would try a google search or [url]www.rojakpot.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elandys Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Does this work at full speed, if you aren't planning on overclocking your CPU/motherboard? I also have a P4P800S. If not, what's the cheapest memory that won't slow down this particular motherboard? (If it matters, it will have a 3.2 GHz CPU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 5, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 5, 2004 Yes as long as you have an 800 FSB CPU the memory should run at DDR400, but I would check with the MB maker as too any restrictions for memory!

elandys Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Should I be checking for something in particular, or is that just a general disclaimer? (like 'My lawyer makes me say that I am not familiar with the particular attributes of every motherboard ever made.'?) The Asus website says 2 x 184-pin DIMM Sockets support max. 2GB PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 non-ECC DDR SDRAM memory and this looks like it fits the bill. (Now I just need to see if I want to stop at 1GB, or go to 2. That would require a larger purchase now, since I'm limited to 2 sticks. :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 5, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 5, 2004 I know of no limitations with this chipset! However, I have not tested this MB personally and as far as I know there are not any limitations, but too be sure I would ask the MB maker if there are! However, according to the [URL=http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4p800s/overview.htm]MB spec[/URL] this MB is single channel, so I would suggest you use a 1.0 Gig module if you want to use more than 1.0 Gig of memory as it only has 2 memory slots!

elandys Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Yes, that's what I meant by needing to decide on 1GB or 2GB now, as I was limited to 2 sticks of memory on the board. Ah, you're saying as single channel, I can buy 1 1GB module now, and expand later if I wish (no need to have matching sticks; 2x512MB or 2x1GB). That sounds like a plan! Thanks for the help!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 5, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 5, 2004 Yes, I would suggest either CMX1024-3200 or Twinx2048-3200 if you want to use more than 1.0 Gig of memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
