motherboard advise

Neither of your links are working.

yes thats the one

links fixed

The Technical Specs for the 1st mobo show it works with ddr2 running at 667 and 800 so it is more than likely your Corsair will work on that mobo.

Gilly this is a quote from another thread , this little quote was made in a post by stormy13

Quote:
* Do not populate both DIMM sockets of the same channel (e.g. DDR and DDR2), or populate 4 DIMM sockets with double-sided memory modules to prevent system's failure to start or incorrect detection of memory modules. Please refer to the user manual for the memory configurations table.

whens that from post from?
couldnt a bios update fix something like this

You missed where I said that warning was more of a CYA kind of statement than anything. Another thing from that thread is that most of the ram on the QVL for that motherboard is double sided (and shown to be OK in 2 or 4 slots).

Those memory QVL lists are good as a base guideline only, there are just too many different makes and models of ram for them to test them all. They can also at times be looked at as a marketing gimmick from the memory manufacturers, as I'll bet if you really looked into the tested ram most of it is from the memory manufacturers higher priced models.

For the most part unless the ram runs at a voltage that isn't supported by the motherboard (either higher or lower than the boards maximum and minimum), then pretty much anything should work.
