double or single sided? CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9B

[cosmin20aka]

Hi guys,

 

I have an Intel DP45SG motherboard, with 4GB (2x2GB XMS3 DHX: TW3X4G1333C9DHX) which is working just fine.

I want to add another 2 sticks, of 2GB each.

I would gladly buy another DHX kit, but they seem to be quite rare and I cannot find them in my region.

So I was looking at Vengeance CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9B, which should be compatible with my MB specs: 1.5v, 9-9-9-24 timings, 1333 MHz.

 

The problem is that my MB supports only double sided 2GB memory modules.

 

Therefore the question is: Does anybody know whether CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9B is double or single sided?

And if it's double sided, how are the banks organized? (128M x 8, 64M x 16, or what?)

 

Thanks

Right now Corsair does not have any modules that would be compatible with that system... Not because they are double sided or not, but because of the size of the chips used to make the module. Your MB's chipset requires modules made from 256mb IC's or less. The Vengeance seies , or any of Corsairs's memory at this time would be made from 512mbIC's making them incompatible. This is documented in the Intel documentation too

Thanks for the info peanutz94.

 

I looked at other producers: kingmax, kingston, a-data, crucial .. and they all currently produce either single sided modules or modules containing 256MB or more ICs.

Looks like I'll have to do with some second hand memory.
