I am running 4 x Elixir 512 Mb in an A8N-E. They run perfectly in dual
channel as well. If you runn 4 sticks then you need to tell the BIOS to use
DDR400 as it defaults to DDR333 when 4 sticks are in use.

Yeah ... I noticed that default to DDR333 too (with 4 sticks DDR400) ...
Asus A8N-SLI ... but then I see a few posts down that 1015 fixes that.

It is by design that it defaults to DDR333 with all DIMMs populated as there
may be stability issues with some memory sticks. Spent ages tweaking my
BIOS etc so no way am i going to flash it to the latest (will only dothat if
i start to get issues).

I have 1GB of Corsair XMS memory. It is a TWINX1024-3200XL kit, which
is a pair of CMX512-3200XL DIMMs matched to run in dual channel
motherboards.

I have it running 2.0-2-2-5 1T dual channel at 2.8 volts.

I'll probably buy another kit at some point in the future, though I
guess I'll probably have to relax the timings some. Honestly, there
is so little difference in real performance between 2.0-2-2-5 and
2.5-3-3-5 that I probably won't care.

Phil
