Hi, > Buyer beware, Gigabyte is playing games with the specifications and > register usage of the Triton-I and Triton-II chipsets to get away with > these 6 SIMM slots. These chip sets have 8 programmable DRAM row size > registers, each _SIDE_ of a SIMM requires one of them to be programmed, > you can _ONLY_ run 4 double sided simms with these chip sets. According to the HX manual you can use 6 SIMMs with 8 MB each in it, and these are double-sided. OTOH, who cares whether one can put 6 double sided SIMMs in it. There are so many valid combinations that I don't see this as a problem. The 586 ATE and HX mainboards I have used work just fine, I haven't seen one fail yet. That's just my personal experience. I'm not religious about mainboards, but I don't have the impression that Asus boards have significantly fewer bugs and problems. Gigabyte definitely belongs to the good equipment. > Gigabyte dirty little move is to _ONLY_ allow single sided SIMMS in 2 Wow, you make it sound as if Gigabyte were posessed by the wicked one ;-) Cheers, Michael
