So what's with the "AMD" DDR2?
My (Intel) board "officially" supports 4G DDR2's (four slots, 16G total) but this "AMD" deal is kind of scary recalling back to the old SDRAM deal. In fact I have a few 512M SDRAM modules now but they don't work in my 440BX board, which is too bad, would rather run this board with 2GB RAM through its four slots, else have to use the VIA boards with only 3 slots is the best I can otherwise do.
But anyway I heard these "AMD" DDR2 still "work" on an Intel board but cannot clock at PC6400 speeds if it comes labeled as such, and must underclock and run at PC5300 speeds... but is that all?
Really should look into getting 8GB DDR3's instead of dumping more into DDR2...
