I just downloaded the manual (.pdf) for the ASUS P4P800 (non-Deluxe) and found something that I didn't like.
There Is a page with a table of ram that is compatible with the mobo and in what "modes" they are compatible in.
1)Single Channel
2)2 ram sticks in Dual Channel
3)4 ram sticks in Daul Channel
The ram that I want to get is listed there but does not support the last option. This is a problem, I'll explain.
The ram I want is Kingston HyperX PC3500 (KHX3500/256).
That is I want 2 x 256MB in dual Channel mode. Thats fine, according to the manual.
But later (a few months, when I have the cash) I want to get 2 more of the exact same memory so that I have 4 x 256MB in total.
But according to the manual, this is not possible. Am I skrewed or what, or has someone found a way around this, BIOS update, new mobo version out, manual tipo, ANY THING, HELP.
I haven't got any of this stuff yet (and cant afford 2x512MB), but I finaly narrowed my search down to these items a this ***** gets in my way , what can I do (tired of thinking - head hurts).
Thanks
