Single sided DDR400 512MB?

Roll · 1 Jul 2006 at 20:30

When using two sticks of DDR400 double sided memory my motherboard (Asus K8N-E socket 754) will only run at DDR333. To run at full speed (DDR400) two sticks of single sided memory are needed or just a single stick of double sided memory.

Can anyone explain this to me and recommend some 512MB single sided sticks to replace the memory I currently have?

Thanks

Single sided 512mb modules are few and far between, single sided means they have the chips down one side of the PCB.

The best bet would be to get a single 1Gb module if your budget will stretch that far.

Any single or double sided module would be fine if you've just got a single module, all you need to do is find a bargain
