A8N-E + 4GB RAM
I just re-purposed an old machine with the Asus A8N-E for use as a DIY
Network Attached Storage device. I upped the memory to 4GB of DDR400 ECC RAM (four identical modules), but now POST reports not only that it's running at 333 but also that it's now single-channel rather than dual-channel. AFAIK, the BIOS on that machine is the latest: 1013, IIRC. Is this the best that can be expected? Perce |

AFAIK, the BIOS on that machine is the latest: 1013, IIRC. Is this the best that can be expected? See the manual, paragraph 1.7. When conforming to the modules listed there, I see no indications the clock-speed or dual-channel mode should be disabled. However, for this to fully work, the modules should conform to the rules laid down there (type of module, single-sides/double-sides, type of DRAM chips used, etc). Perhaps try different combinations to see where the board switches to 333MHz and/or single-channel mode. Also examine the modules in more detail to see if they are indeed 100% identical. Regards, Patrick. |
