Daniele,

What motherboard are you using?  Typically the RAM compatibility is more
motherboard dependant rather than CPU.

I have the MSI K8T NEO-FIS2R and CORSAIR 32MX8 (256Meg sticks) for RAM and
have had wonderful performance and reliability.

-Alain.

Subject: [suse-amd64] Be careful with memory compatibility


I suggest everyone with an Athlon64 (not FX) to thoroughly test his
memory with memtest86, expecially with test 5 and 8.

I did try with 2 different memory brands without luck. I ended up with
Kingston KVR400X64C25/512 (Kingston states that it is ok with Athlon64)
clocked at 333 since at 400 it still had problems.

I don't know if it is the Athlon64 too much stringent with timings or
memories not conformant... but I lost much time trying to find a
reliable configuration.

Bye.
