Hi overclocker456!
Thanks for checking that out!
I'm not so sure if its all linear. There seems to be a
(even) faster mode of addressing ddr memory. Well, thats at least what my mag, german c't tells me. According to Intel there seems to be a Dynamic Addressing Mode in case to 2 sticks are identical in all there values. If there are slight differences, the BIOS must revert to linear which is more stable but a little slower.
Also if the modules are single sided its a bit slower, too. But since you got 1GB (2x512) its sure, yours are doublesided. But theres quite a few singlesided 256mb sticks out there.
Might well be that I'm wrong, all Infos come from one mag. Havent checked at intel at all. But the source is usually reliable and quite nerdy in those matters.
All in all the loss in performance seems to be marginal. (2-5%) But still, if I'm spending 200 bucks on sticks i want the best possible thing.
Maybe Dynamic Addressing Mode is Hype?
Anybody with success?
cheers

PS: I read somewhere here in the forums that by upping agp voltage one would also upp the chipset voltage. Sounds weird though, cuz voltage is between 1.5v and 1.8 in my BIOS. Nothin like 3.3 or so.
And theres the info from Intel:

Havent read it thoroughly yet though!
