223603 2006-10-15 17:19:00 Single sided stickes as aposed to double sided stickes . . .
If you can . . . go single sided . . . double sided stickes are (i think) cheaper to produce . . . as it only takes half as many chips to produce the same number of megs . . .

Double sided sticks are fine . . . but some north bridges just cant reconise them . . . electronicly they are seen the same by the puter . . . just some boards cant take double sided stickes . . . before i learnt this . . . i upped the ram in my baby . . . with a 256 ddr stick . . . double sided . . . and it worked fine . . . but i have seen a board that just wont take a double-sided stick . . .

I dont know how common this is . . . so cant really comment . . . but i will from now on . . . try to keep to single-sided stickes

About your point: I believe that I only encountered this anomally of not recognizing double-sided sticks in Compaqs . Try as I might I could not get it to see the doubles and had to leave it as it was . . . those old sticks are hard to come by in original configurations .

I DO have about four double sided 64K sticks for them now . . . I shall look into the Smithsonian Institute to see if they'd like to display some artifacts from "days of yore" . :rolleyes:

If anyone in Upsidedownland want them . . . let me know . :blush:

However, thank you nirmald for trying to be helpful. :)

If you say to someone "Oh, I've just seen the world's cutest kitten", you've been Nirmald. :D
