Intel 875P (ABit IC7 Series) cant handle PAT when using al..

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.

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.

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.

Later,

Alan

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.

It surprised me also but intel motherboard tech support responded
within 24 hours. Anyway if you find out anything from intel please
post a followup here.

Thanks

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