Question Does fb dimm work in gigabyte ddr2

[Omar nagdee]

I have a gigabyte ga-ma74gm-s2h Rev:2.0
Ram:ddr2 1066 slot
I have got a 8gb fb dimm 667 ram card does it fit in the 1066 slot

"fit", yes.

"Work", no.

The board supports un-buffered DIMMs, and a max of 8GB total.

It’s not fitting in anyway so what shall I do

No. FB DIMMs are fully buffered memory sticks, they are designed to work with servers not consumer desktops.

So i can’t use it in any motherboard

 

[jimmysmitty]

There are some consumer boards designed to work with it but they are mostly high end workstation boards that use CPUs like Xeons.
