I have installed 4x 800 A-Data 5-5-5-18 2GB (AD2800002GOU) modules on my Intel DP965LT. (The 1GB modules were listed in Intel's validation results, so I figured it would be ok.)
I read '1 Gb memory technology is not supported on DDR2-800 DIMMs' several times in the manual and still managed to forget about it while ordering. The system works fine however, i have 8124 megabytes physical memory in vista sp1 x64. Just to be safe however I have for now set the memory speed to 677, but it worked fine on 800.
I have read several forums/threads about the problem I have: the boot is terribly slow (say 3:30 minutes.)
I now have several questions:
Should I be worried? Should I bring the memory back and get 677's? Or is it ok and can the slow boot be fixed, and is it even related to the 800 memory? Why do intel say they don't support it, but it still works fine? Is running the memory at 800 safe? Or are the modules perhaps not 1GB technology, for this information I cannot find anywhere.
If anyone can answer any of my questions or explain, thank you very much in advance!
