Socket 754 boards don't support dual channel?

my motherboard listed below does not support dual channel? i thought it did =[ I just bought some corsair xms 3200 DC 2x512 sticks to replace my 1x512 mushkin. Should I leave in the mushkin with my xms?
btw if it matters.. im not OCing, and my psu sucks..

sorry about the IM i was taking a nap LOL, anyway if you want more ram go ahead and mix them as the dual channel wont matter for you. Yes you would need a new Mobo and socket 939 cpu to get diual channel

Does the SONY VAIO F Series SVF15412CXB support dual channel memory?

Does the SONY VAIO F Series SVF15412CXB support dual channel memory? Or does it only have one slot?
I'm curious if I can put a second stick of RAM in there for dual channel performance.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. Can you please double check that for me, or post a link to the documentation where you saw that? I asked this question on Newegg, too, and one of the respondants heard differently:
"i found out from sony that there is only 1 slot cause i was gonna get 1 more 4GB stick of ram for 8Gb. So iwas upset about that cause i have to get 8GB now and it costs 100$ for an 8Gb stick of ram on ebay. So this ram is expensive. So im sticking with 4Gb for now. This is a very good laptop though. I use it primarily for minecarft and steam and i get around 100 fps on minecraft so its good. I hope this helps." It's just confusing because other laptop advertisments I've seen openly stated how many RAM slots the computer had and how many were used upon purchase. I haven't found anything like that which makes me think that there's only one slot for RAM. Thanks,Gremark

Socket 754 vs. 939

I'm buying a new board and want to know what the difference is between a socket 754 and a socket 939 which shoul I go with?

Socket 754 vs. 939:
Socket 754 CPU:
Single Channel Memory only
64bit DDR SDRAM at 100, 133, 166, and 200Mhz
Three DIMM's supported
800Mhz Hyper Transport Bus Speed
Runs hotter than socket 939 cpu's
Consumes more power than socket 939's
Socket 939 CPU:
Dual Channel Memory
128bit DDR SDRAM at 100, 133, 166, and 200Mhz
Four DIMM's supported
1000Mhz Hyper Transport Bus Speed
Runs cooler than socket 754 cpu's
Consumes less power than socket 754's
The new socket 939 cpu's now support dual-channel memory configurations. Socket 754 users are tied down to using single-channel memory. The addition of dual-channel memory ability effectively doubled the memory bandwidth of the on-die memory controller. Remember, the Athlon64 cpu's do not have to reply on a northbridge to transfer memory and graphics data to and from the cpu. This, in theory, results in much lower latency and higher bandwidth. Socket 754 cpu's support 64bit DDR SDRAM at 100, 133, 166, and 200Mhz. Now the socket 939 cpu's support 128bit memory at the same frequencies, so you can see the obvious advantage there. The newer socket 939 cpu's memory controller also supports up to four unbufferred dims, whereas the socket 754 solution only supported three. The 939's also benefit from a faster Hyper Transport bus speed(read front side bus). Socket 754 was limited to 800Mhz or 3.2Gb/sec in each direction but now 939 cpu's get a full 1000Mhz or 4Gb/sec in each direction. Generally speaking, the 939 cpu's are running cooler than their socket 754 counterparts, I would say mostly due to the fact that the socket 939 cpu requires less voltage. So, as you can see there are several reason's why a socket 939 Athlon64 cpu may be the better buy when compared to socket 754, especially considering the price difference is hardly even $50 on average from 754 to 939 in the same class, i.e. 3200+ socket 754 vs. 3200+ socket 939.

Dual channell mem in single chanell board ??

what happens if i have a K8N Neo Platinum n250g for 734 socket board
and i use dual channel memory ? anything ?
will it help performance ?

Dual channel memory is nothing more than two identical sticks from
the same production batch .
And they are tested so they have the most possible identical read/write/latency
characteristics , and voltage tolerance.
Having two matched in a single controller board is actually a good idea for
stability . Ie when overclocking memory frequency on the system you don't
experience that one stick craps out before the other .

K8T Master-2 Far - Dual Channel Memeory???

Hello, I have a few questions about this board. Is this board Dual Channel supported for memory modules? I have 4 ECC Registered 512 (333) Transcend memory modules installed, but no dual channel!
I also know that theWindbonf Temp probes are off on this/my board, as my cpu temp probe reads 64C, but taking a thermal prob to it, read just a bit over half of that. However in Sandra, when I switch between my cpu's (2x Opteron 244's) 1 shows a vcore of about 3.00 or so while the other shows 1.49... and often switches back and fourth with the other processor, or occassionally, they both will read at 1.49. Is this normal?
And for my final question, is it normal for this board to catch on fire?... j/k!
TY!

The memory controller is built in the CPU's so its not depend on the board, however you have to put your memory in pairs in to the Mobo. The CPU does support dual channel. You mentioned you have 4 ( same?) sticks so you should be fine. Did you run a memory test in Sandra? What is the results compare with some references? ( try with 2 sticks ( 1MB) only ) One more thing try run the Memtest86. What is your bios version? Try update if too old. If only one program shows 3.00 volt for VCore then dont worry.. some bug...
When you inserted the cpus did you put some conductive grease on the cpus (silver grease is better, then the original conductive (pink) tape). Maybe the contact between the heat sink and cpu is not so good, try replace it. I have 248 opterons with max 45 C. (and 2X 512 MB + 2X 256 MB and dual channel is working fine).

Maxing RAM and utilizing dual channel

For some reason I´ve begun to believe that the new iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo and 3 GB of RAM doesn´t support dual channel. This reason is because I´ve seen that the new low end iMac requires dual channel because of it´s integrated graphics chip and there is not an option to upgrade RAM to more than 2 GB. So, if one want to have dual channel: Don´t use more than 2 GB RAM.
This is a bit speculative, of course. Some people might be angry to know that they can´t utilize dual channel because of maxing their RAM. I repeat: This is mostly speculation, but does seem to make sense in my eyes. What do you think about this?

Sorry. This isn´t much of a question really. If I could remove it then I would.

Pc won't run in dual channel mode

Hi.I have an msi P6N SLI motherboard which supports dual channel ram configurations.I first purchased four 1gb ddr2 pc 800 ram modules and the pc wouldn't boot so i have 2 1gb and 1 2g modules which work fine.When i remove the 2gb module and the 1gb modules are in either slots 1 and 3 or slots 2 and 4(dual channel) ,the pc wont boot.When in slots 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 it works fine again.
Is there some setting i must change in the bios to enable dual channel mode.Ive looked but can't seem to find anything and the manual doesn't say anything about changing settings.
I would appreciate any help.thanks

the two 1 gb must be in slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 and the 2gb can be in any empty slot. then it should boot. why just do not get yourself 2 x 2gb ddr2 800. due to memory controller limitation 2x2gb is the best option for using window 32bits. and finally there is nothing in bios which can solve your prob. good luck

Satellite Pro M70-235: Does it have Dual Channel?

Can somebody tell me if this model has dual channel? Thanks for reply

Hi
Of course.
In my knowledge every newer notebook supports dual channel memory modules.
The Satellite Pro M70 supports DDR2 modules as following:
DDR2-400/533 256MB (PA3389U-1M25)
DDR2-400/533 512MB (PA3412U-1M51)
DDR2-400/533 1GB (PA3411U-1M1G)

Need help with Dual Channel DDR memory

Hi, I have a msi nvidia MOBO, K7N2G and it supports dual channel memory. The manual says to put one in 1 and one in 3. I did then it wont start. System gives the old beep.........beep.........beep. I have to patriot 512 ddr sticks. They work fine in slot 1 and 2 but not in "dual channel" mode. Do i have to do anything else in order to get these to work?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

hi
try slot 2&3.
what brand of memory?
what speed is the memory working in?
there is no option to disable or enable dual channel.
just put them in slot 1&3 or 2&3.
bye

754 Boards vs. Socket A motherboards

Does it make sense, if my Socket A Sempron 2400+ is fried to get a system board/bundle with a 754 socket. They seem to be a little bit more money, but not much. In other words, it is still cutting edge, but not bleeding edge!
Someone at the local computer store said that I will not be able to upgrade in the future to an AMD Athlon 64 series, if I purchase an MSI K8TNEO-FSR Via Socket 754 w/Sempron 3000+
What say you?

Welll both the Socket A and the Socket 754 are getting phased out. Socket A is going to be a little sooner. There are some definite performance gains going to Socket 754, but it may be worth it to save up a little money and go with a Socket 939. This is AMD's cream of the crop (for now) and it supports all the latest AMD's. Plus if you go with an Athlon64 you will see another large performance increase. The downside with sempron is it was designed to compete directly with Intel's Celeron. So it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of AMD's mid to high end lineup. As far as upgrading a socket 754... you can. But AMD is not releasing any more Athlon64 for that socket. They are focusing more on the 939 and the upcoming M2.
My recommendation... save up a little more and go with an Athlon64 socket 939.
Good Luck

Does K8N Neo Platinum(ms-7030) have Dual Channel Support?

Hey i have 2x1gb sticks of corsair xms DDR-400 PC 3200 ram and i can't get it to run in dual channel mode, does this motherboard even suport dual channel mode, because according to this http://www.memory-up.com/Memory_Finders/MSI-Memory-MSI-MS-7030-K8NNEOPLAT-Memory.html it doesn't.
btw both cpu-z and memtest86 tell me im running in single channel mode, and i've tried all combinations of DIMM Slots
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the quick reply, looks like im out of luck on that
I wouldn't worry about that too much... As far as everyday use goes, a 754 board is almost as fast as a 939 setup at similiar CPU speeds.
The only way to see the difference is by running a bunch of different benchmark progs, which have little to do with the "real world" anyway.

K9N4 SLI: Support of 3 GB in dual channel

Hello,
This is a great forum
I've a MSI K9N4 SLI (MSI 7325), AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+ oced to 4000+ and two stick of one gb of ram.
Each module is inserted in different channels.
I want to add a new module of 1 gb ram, so my system will have 3 GB in total. So my question is: If I add a new module, will the memory work in single or dual channel? If yes or not, will at least work in single channel?
My system score 4,9 as processor and 5,9 memory. I'm using Vista x64 and all works good but I need a little more speed.
Thanks!

If even can works will be in single.
Use 1,2 or 4 memory modules.
For best performance and troubles free use 2x matched memory sticks only.

2 x 256mb + 2 x 512mb = Dual Channel?

Hi all,
Should be a quick and easy one, Have read a few posts in the sticky's but not found an answer yet. Here goes:
I currently have 2 x 256mb in dual channel. My local store is selling 512mb stiks cheap if I buy 2 can I run them all in dual channel?
They are the same brand. BUT I think I read somewhere about the Newcastle Cpu's not running 4 stiks in dual channel mode or it may have been that they could only run at 333mhz.
Can you chaps clarify any of this for me, before I shell out my hard earner cash?
Cheers Ric.

Do you have the D-Bracket installed? If so what does it list the error being (please no color codes, post the actual error listed in your manual)? What are the max amps on the 3.3v 5v and 12v rails? This info can be found on a sticker on the side of the PSU. Also what are your complete system specs? Use my sig for parts to include.
Good Luck
Jeremy
The board didn't come with any accessories or a manual as it was a refurb purchase from newegg.com so I can not tell you anything.
As far as the max amps on the rails you mentioned, 3.3v is 28A, 5v is 45A and 12v is 18A. As far as system specs, the components I've listed are the only things being used atm as I'm down to barebone trying to troubleshoot this problem.
About the Mobile 64 Clawhammer 3000+ that I have, the reason I chose this board was because I was told (I don't remember where exactly anymore) that this was one of the few mobos that would with with a Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processor. The reason I chose the Mobile AMD Athlon 64 3000+ socket 754 Clawhammer processor was because it was cheaper than a normal desktop 3000+ 64 socket 754 processor @ Newegg.com and it had a full megabyte of L2 cache vs the 512KB L2 cache that the newcastle 3000+ AMD 64 socket 754 processor.

Is there a socket 754 A64 3700+ Rev. E 90nm??

I have a socket 754 and would like a 3700+. I am not wild about another Clawhammer because I would like a little overclocking.
Is there a Rev. E 90nm socket 754 A64 3700+?? I haven't seen one but I am hoping someone knows more than I do.

If buying a new system yes I like everyone would go for 939, PCI-E.
However in terms of performance there is little difference the "bottleneck of single channel" i have seen put @5-7%.

Buying a socket 939 board now with not a too expensive cpu gives you te possibility to upgrade to an X2 cpu in about one or two years
A year from now who knows the 754 is i think only 15m old. There are rumours about AMD Athlon 64 Rev F Update: DDR2 and Socket M2? Possibly this time next year.giving the 939 aproximately 24m cycle. (yep it will go on but no longer be the premier high end solution.)
So bottom line is:-
I don't think there's ever a particularly ideal time to upgrade, it's really down to the individual & their wallet/plastic
Some might upgrade the CPU like d2thez is exploring & not want to add the extra cost of a mobo. It's a bit similar to the adoption of NEo4 & PCI-e, you see plenty of people going 4 939 Neo3 Ultra solutions rather than add the cost of a new PCI-e gfx card.
I think the last has caught a lot of the mobo manufacturers out witness the shortage of Neo2 boards reported earlier this year.
I have just upgraded my memory, thinking about a further upgrade towards the end of the year, my gfx card is out the ark but not worth updating until the final part of my upgrade, by definition this has locked me out of any early adoption of a M2?? solution.
My 2$ worth went on a bit longer than 2cents

[P965 NEO] Why max memory 8gb but don't support 2gb module?

Why max memory supported is 8gb and has 4 slots, but don't support 2gb DDR2 800mhz module?
This is an (Intel!) chipset (memory controller) limitation rather than a board or BIOS problem. Intel states it somewhat differently:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/313053.pdf
Quote
Supports 256-Mb, 512-Mb, and 1-Gb technologies for x8 and x16 devices (DDR2
800MHz 1Gb technology not supported)
Intel refers to the density rather than the memory capacity/size. Look at this Kingston module model for example:
http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR800D2N5_2G.pdf
Quote
The components on this module include
sixteen 128M x 8-bit DDR2-800 SDRAM in FBGA packages
"128M x 8-bit" refers to the density of the memory chips used on those modules (=1024 Mbit or 1Gbit (1Gb)). There are sixteen of those 128M x 8-bit chips on the module which gives you a capacity of precisely 1024Mbit x 16 = 16384 Mbit (2024 MByte).
A 2GB DDR2-800 module that meets the Intel specifications for the P965 memory controller (512Mbit maximum density for DDR2 800) would need to have 64M x 8-bit components but would need precisely 32 of those chips to reach a capacity of 2GByte. Try to find a DDR2-800 module that can hold 32 memory chips and you will be able to run them @DDR2-800. To my knowledge such modules do not exits (the module I used as an example has 8 chips on each side).
That is where the limitation comes from (it is not an MSI thing).
