Bad Pc133 RAM?

I recently put together an AOPEN AX3S based system where I bought all the parts from a dealer in Brisbane. I also bought from him a stick of 128 Meg of Pc133 (Kingmax) memory. The memory stick would not work - so I bought a cheaper 64 meg stick from another dealer and this worked fine. Took the 128 meg stick back to the original dealer and got it replaced with 2x64 meg sticks --- BUT these will not work either. No matter whether I use them singly or in any combination ---only the 64 meg stick from the second dealer will work. Now, am I missing something here -is it possible that 3 sticks from this dealer can be bad?? Thanks Barry

Have you checked to make sure you motherboard will support a 128MB stick? Maybe the 64Mb stick is all it will support...

More like not bad, just not doing PC133 properly if you are running them at 133MHz. Just force the original dealer to give your money back. He legally has to do that when they clearly wont work in that motherboard which obviously isnt defective when the 64MB dimm from the other supplier works fine. Its not as desirable to have more than one dimm with PC133, so you'd be better with a 128MB dimm that works than a pair of 64MB dimms if you can find one that works in that motherboard.

Basically with unbuffered dimms, the load is effectively the number of ram chips per data line.

Because the extra DIMMs will capacitively load the driver logic,
making "it's squirrely" more likely than with one.
See, each input to a DRAM chip (be it fast page, EDO, Synchronous,
or whatever) is a capacitor. Now, when you put capacitors in parallel, they
increase the effective value. One thing that having capacitance on a
digital line is, is that it causes that nice sharp twitch of the 0-to-1 or
1-to-0 transistion to be softer.
Think "tube amp sound" for an example of a softening signal.
Now, if that signal gets TOO far out of spec, you end up with a
delayed transistion, which might cause you to need to go to CAS3 on CAS2
memory, or even cause "glitching" when the SDRAM triggers on noise but not
the proper signal.

Your statements are essentially correct however it is not the number of
DIMMs that is the real limit, it is the number of banks. There is no
advantage (other than keeping DIMM sockets empty) in using 1x128Mb double
sided DIMM (which has two banks) as 2x 64Mb single sided DIMMs (which have
one bank each), they both consume 2 banks.
An example is the Intel D815EEA motherboard. It can only support 4 banks at
133MHz (board has 3 DIMM sockets), so you can use up to 384Mb (board max) at
full 133MHz only if you use single 3x128Mb sided DIMMs, use double sided
128Mb DIMMs and you can only have up to 256Mb at 133MHz, any more an the RAM
speed drops to 100MHz.
Also, you have not thought of the option that the board is faulty at 133MHz
but functioning properly at lower speed (the board is not clearly working
properly) and the cheap RAM is actually 100MHz therefore the cheap RAM
appears to work (while it is actually nor working as advertised) and the
expensive RAM is functioning correctly and the motherboard is failing at
133MHz. As unlikely as this may be it is real possibility. We do not have
enough info to say for certain that the Kingmax RAM is faulty.

Its more complicated than that. As far as being able to run the ram at the best specs, its actually the number of ram chips per data line that also affects what timing params can be used. I just said that its not as desirable to use the pair of 64MB dimms instead of a 128MB dimm, because the single dimm gives more future. > There is no advantage (other than keeping DIMM sockets > empty) in using 1x128Mb double sided DIMM (which has > two banks) as 2x 64Mb single sided DIMMs (which have > one bank each), they both consume 2 banks.

As unlikely as this may be it is real possibility. And in practice it turns out to not be the problem. Yes, there were obviously some more obscure possibilitys, I dont always choose to attempt to list every single obscure possibility.

So how can he then (in your words)
"Just force the original dealer to give your money back.
He legally has to do that when they clearly wont work
in that motherboard which obviously isn't defective when
the 64MB dimm from the other supplier works fine."
You have just indicated that quite obviously (read "Duh") the RAM is not
necessarily faulty.
Later
PS It is as simple as I said in respect to the banks/sides, as number of
devices determines the number of banks (max 9 devices per bank).
Aside:
Quote from Intel (note I was wrong on board max which is actually 512Mb):
System Memory
The D815EEA desktop board supports up to 512 MB of dynamic memory. The three
168-pin Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets support 3.3V unbuffered 100
MHz, or 133 MHz, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) DIMMs. If
PC133 memory is going to be run at the full 133 MHz, only four of the six
DIMM sides can be used (two double-sided DIMMs, or one double-sided DIMM
plus two single-sided DIMMs).

Duh, thats why it was noted as an aside, your not the only person who might read the post and someone else might find the information helpful or informative, if you do or not. It is actually very relevant as it is his chipset. Cheaper clone taiwanese manufacturers such as AOpen, Abit, Asus etc don't provide you with the level of support information as companies like Intel, if there was info on the Aopen board published I would have provided it as well. I welcome you to try to find it.

to personal insults, your not fooling anyone except yourself.

Truly impressive contributions "z" PS: Last comment does not mean victory/correctness or any other sense of achievement as you obviously presume, just shows how pathetic you can be. ditto on the legal crap you sprout. End of thread on my part, continue to crap on as much as you like, it only serves to entertain others. If others really want, I can keep the amusements going for a while yet.
