 Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2003 2:01 pm Post subject: Does memory bank order matter? |
 |
|
While assembling my PC with an Intel D845GEBV2, I put a 512 MB RAM stick in
bank 1 and left bank 0 empty since I had plugged in the AGP card first and
the AGP retention mechanism was occuluding memory bank 0. Though everything
seems to be working fine, I wonder if there are any performance issues with
this configuration. If so, I'll open the chassis again to do the needful. I
recollect the motherboard manual from a computer that I built years ago
saying that the banks need to be filled in a certain order, but the manual
for my present motherboard does not say anothing about this, though it does
warn that the memory in bank 0 should be inserted before plugging in the AGP
card ( I read this part later).

No problem with performance should arise.
If you look back at the days of FP or EDO RAMs, you had to fill a bank
with 2 modules for chipsets like the venerable i430HX et al(and, looking
at the good old days of SIMMs, with 4), so, this is where you probably
found that.
