Intel 875P (ABit IC7 Series) cant handle PAT when using all 4 memory slots ?
A thread on the Abit Web site claims that the IC7 boards cannot use PAT when you use all 4 memory slots. Is anyone familiar with this issue ? I'm particularly interested in whether this is an ABit issue or an issue with all MBs using the 875P Chipset. http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread...&highlight=PAT Thanks |

there have been posts that said that PAT was disabled when filling all four
slots. no first hand experience from me as I have set the boards up with 1 gig installed in 2x512 sticks. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 130,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ wrote in message ...

Hi Tom Thanks for the reply on both this and an unrelated thread. Regarding the PAT / 4 RAM Chips issue, is it just the ABIT IC7 series boards, or does this effect all Intel P875 Chipset boards ? |

just a guess but I think it would probably be any board using the chipset.
my experience with this chipset is limited to the Abit boards though. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 130,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ wrote in message ...

Hi,
If someone sends me 2 sticks of ecc 512mb memory I will be happy to check ;-)). Anyway pat is enabled with 2 - 512mb memory here. Don't have the cash or the need for 2 more. Interesting thread you posted below. http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bz/bz_inst.htm#5.5 the intel faq on d875pbz gives no indication that pat is disabled with 4 dimms. I guess you don't know until you try it ;-)). You could send a letter to intel tech support. They are pretty responsive.

So far all I've gotten are the obligatory two letters from the IntelBot, but hopefully I'll hear something soon from a human. |
