512MB stick in Epox MVP3G5 r1.4 or Gigabyte GA-5AX r5.2?
Hi guys,<br><br>I was just wondering if it would be possible to use a 512MB (32x8mbits) double sided (16 chips, 8 each side) RAM stick on either of these motherboards? All my SS7 motherboards use the latest BIOS, and the latest version of Sandra says that the VIA MVP3 chipset can handle upto 1.5GB of ram (actually I remember seeing on the old Epox newsgroups that some guy was using 1.5GB of RAM on his G5, but I was too late in finding out which memory he used), and also that the Ali V chipset can handle up to 3GB?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Steve<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub70.ezboard.com/bk6plus67153.s ... andells</A> at: 1/15/03 12:39:53 pm<br></i>

Well my ali5 MoBo can only handle 256Mb, i really dunno about other chipsets, if your lucky maybe you can but if not i think you have to deactivate L2 cache wich woudnt be much of gain. <p>athlon xp 1600+<br>GA-7dxe<br>256mb ddr 2100 <br>geforce 2 mx/200<br>seagate 40Gb 5400rpm<br>c-media 8768 6channels<br>acteck 5.1 speakers<br>17` LG studioworks<br>26 dot pitch<br>32x10x40 lg cdburner<br>LG 52x cdrom</p><i></i>

I don't think so.
The MVP chipset was built before anyone knew about High density RAM (32x80 and (16x16). I have the latest BIOS and the second latest chipset drivers and the chipset will only recognize half of any high density RAM that is installed. There is a new 4 in 1 set out now called Hyperion or something like that. There might be something in that but I doubt it. <p></p><i></i>

Hi guys,<br><br>Just to let you know that a Micron 512MB PC133 memory module (32x8mbits double-sided) works on one of my Gigabyte GA-5AX mobo's. It has a total of 1GB of RAM (1x512MB and 2x256MB), K6-2+, AIW8500DV, SB128, Realtek 8139 NIC and running XP Pro. The system runs CFS3 smoothly.<br><br>Steve <p></p><i></i>
was tempted to get 512mb micron f/$35 fr/amdmb trading post lastnight, but it was 2x256mb
am thinking/hoping 1x512mb in dimm 1 (0) will work and maybe even sneak my 256mb stick into dimm 2 f/768mb
i'd just go for it, but to match my 256mb stick exactly will be @$120 from crucial!
