Hello: Searching for enlightenment and I'm not a memory guru nor kernel hacker here so could use some help understanding this. System is a Tyan B2882T26 w/ a pair of 246's. I've two 1GB sticks of Corsair ECC Registered memory onhand. Question is whether it would be "best" to: 1) put both cpu0 dimm slots 1 & 2 2) put 1 in dimm slot 1 of each cpu If I understand correctly, config 1 results in 128 bit interleaved while config 2 results in 64 bit non-interleaved. (config 1 leaves cpu 0 as memory "controller" for cup 1?). I've read some stuff where interleaved results in faster access but also can have "miss" penalaties. Any explanations on where one strategy is better than other appreciated. Thanks for the insights. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key-- 9F5179FD "Freedom begins between the ears." -- Edward Abbey
