Well, I've gone through 5 DIMMs, separately and together, and here's
what I've been able to come up with:
Info: The FV24 is designed so that even if the FSB is running at 100,
you can set the DIMM speed to Host+33 (133), Host (100), or Host-33 (77).
- None of the PC133 DIMMs that I own will work on this motherboard,
no matter which slot I put them in.
- Both PC100 DIMMs (1 256, 1 128) work like a charm, with the DIMM
speed set to 100, interleave off, and CAS latency set to 3; as
long as they're the only DIMM on the board (other settings don't
seem to effect test success/failure).
- The PC100 DIMMs will not work when they're both on the board.
So... any of you hardware guru's have a clue about what direction to
head in? I've got a functional system now, with about 35% of the memory
speed that it should have. This is sufficient, for now, but I'd like to
fix the problem, not work around it.
Thanks for listening. ;]
Oh, and I'll be at tomorrow's meeting, and may be bringing this beast,
along with the two working and one non-working (on this board) DIMM.
