I have the PB3-F, fully loaded pci and 3x256mb dimms (DS)(cl222). I did not notice this same problem until I swapped cpu's to a 133mhz coppermine from a 100 mhz coppermine. Now the ram registers as cas333 10 instead of 222 8. Setting this manually is no problem and the system runs fine. But there is an intermintant problem where the memory may or may not be all counted "AFTER" a cmos change and save. It's wierd and I will be testing the dimms individually, even though I'm sure it is something else, possibly something along the lines of what you have described... FYI Assuming your modules are correct (low-density, organized into two logical banks of 128MB per dimm instead of one 256MB bank), the problem is likely related to voltage. Most BX board designs, even those with three dimm slots instead of four, have anemic 3.3v power supplies to these slots. Many share power between slots, so e.g. you might get one running with slots 1 and 3 populated but not 1 and 2. Or with 1 and 2 populated, but not all three. Etc. Not much you can do other than trial and error. |
