Hi everybody:

I am trynig to build a system with GA-7N400 Pro2 with Athlon XP 3200. I am
looking to install a total of 3gig PC3200 memory in Dual Channel mode.

I am thinking the follwoing configuation:
Slots 1&2 need 1 Gigabyte stick each - matched pair-
Single/Double sided fine

Slots 3&4 need 512 Meg stick each -match pair - must
be single sided memory.

I am thinking OCZ memory, but am having hard time finding out if a
perticular memory is single sided or double sided. Can any of you who had to
deal with this can make recommendation.

thanks.

The largest I found was:
256MB MEMORY XMS3200 (400MHZ BUS) 256MB DDR 32X64 (184PIN) UNBUFFERED
CAS 2 USES 32MX8 DRAMS (SINGLE SIDED) WITH SILVER (PLATINUM) HEAT SPREADER
CORSAIR BRAND MEMORY CMX256A-3200C2P

and
these were $64.00+shipping each

Then I found that the 1G I had installed was loafing along never used more
than 512m.

I run three to four VMs on the machine at one time. The one I am replacing
has 2Gig memory and is sometimes I feel I could use more memory.
