Well I am looking to upgrade from my KT400 KD7 to an NF7 or KV7 (the kt600), probably NF7.
Anyway, i've ended up with 2x256 corsair pc3200 XMS sticks from when i first got the KT400 (didn't read up on it much on kt400 back then and got the pc3200 for it). But i need to be able to run 1024mb DDR400, so I was planning on just picking up a 512mb pc3200 stick.
Problem is that when you check Newegg's product link's for both the NF7 and KV7, both specs say they only support 2 DIMM DDR400, but 3 DIMM for lower speeds.
I am asking this question because I haven't seen another brand with the same chipsets that says there is a restriction for how many DDR400 modules you can use, Abit is the only brand I see with this restriction.
So has anyone tried using 3 sticks of DDR400, I really like Abit's bios options so if i can stick with them and use the memory I have it would be nice. Thanks for the help
