2 Questions related to Tyan Tiger K8W with AMI Bios v02.33
a) Does anyone use this MOBO with Mem > 4 GB ? (We have the Problem that AGP Window is mapped over 1 Memory Chip in any case, no remapping above 4 GB by BIOS ) But it might be a compromise to use at least 7 GB Mem of 8 GB.
Yes, this is a known issue on all motherboards with the IOMMU window. I know only about the FSC Celsius BIOS that does a remapping.
b) Does anyone know per chance if the board layout is good with respect to fast memory access by both cpu's ?
If it has memory local to each CPU (which it has AFAIK), it is ok, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
