RDRAM Question

[ddasilva]

I bought the Giga-byte GA-81HXP motherboard and I need to know if I want to install 128MB of PC1066 RAM do I need the stick in 16bit or 32bit?

 

[Civilized]

the 16 bit rdram is referred to as pc1066
the 32 bit is referred to as rimm4200 and can only be run in the asus p4t-533 mobo....
you need the 16 bit pc 1066...nice board by the way im looking at getting the same one =]

Thanks!

I heard you need to run RDRAM in pairs...

What happens if I only have enough $$$ for 128MB of RDRAM? Will the single module work fine?

No is must be use in pair also a suggest to you lokk at price agin some RDRAM part have fall be 22% in price

Now what to do??

 

[ddasilva]

So I cannot have one stick of 128Mb of RDRAM? I have to have two..?

1 stick of 128MB 32bit RDRAM yes, youll need a terminator though if its one stick. You need pairs for 16bit RDRAM.
