Yes it is me with a nother Question hehe.

What is a Dummie RDRAM sitck i here people talking about.

And what all Bit with does RDRAM come in As far as i know of i thought it was 16bit only but people are saying you need only 2 to make up a bank for a P4 if a P4 is 64bits wide then you would need 4 16bit RDRAM. But mabey that old RDRAM was 16bit can someone help out this GEEK in training PLEAS.

As always thank you all
 
A dummy rdram is stick is called c-rimm, or continuity rimm, it is a blank stick of memory (no chips) so that you can fill up the full memory bank without having to buy four sticks of ram.

as far as I know one rimm module is 16bit, so to fill up a 64bit memory buffer there has to be four of them.

So all the crimm does is falsley fill this buffer.
 
WOW I did rember something right for once.
Thank you for you help. So the C-Rimm tricks the Mobo into thainking that the rest of the Memory Bank is full.

Thank you for you help.
