Ram question concerning # of banks and how single vs double actually works
Ok hopefully this can be easy,, I did some searches here and really didnt get the answer i need,, Anyway I have Asus A7V8X-X mobo, it supports up to 3 gb non Ecc? unbuffered memory pc2100/1600. Ok I dont really want that. And it supports 4 banks of pc2700 and 2 banks of pc3200.. OK now I always figured since I had 2 512's pc2700, they both read double bank, I figured that all 512 were double bank,, SO now I bought a kingston 512 and it only read single bank,, SO my question if I get another kingston single bank, this means I can get 1.5 gigs of ram, or since the single bank is in what I assume, is a double bank slot, will it actually be 4 banks,,, I am really not a computer expert, I just do a lot of music and more ram the better..
Hopefully a summary question can help, 3 single bank 512's will work? or not? And is double bank the actual mobo or is it refering to the memory bank?? Im confused hopefully someone can decipher this.. Thanks |

Well, the dimm's actual "bankness" is determined by the memory maker, and what "bankness" the mobo will accept is determined by the memory controller on the mobo, and the bios. I think 3 single bank stix will be ok.
