Re: Which 965 Express Chipset Motherboards Will Allow full 4GB of 1GB

PS.

Cons: Spent 2 hours on the phone with ASUS support trying to find how to use
all 4GB of memory under 32-bit Windows. They told me that it is impossible,
which is not true because I'm using 4GB on Intel board without any problems.
ASUS Level 1 support is not knowledgeable. Both south bridge and PCI-X chips
running very hot, as well second LAN chip. Have no idea who may need this
cheap Marvel software RAID on this expensive board - for serious system you
will need hardware RAID card. Price is too high, maybe because of PCI-X
support, and this board is not server board ans listed by NewEgg, it is for
high-end workstation (WS-Pro). Check ASUS website. Zalman 7700 cooler cannot
be used on this board in most cases! CPU socket is too close to the end of
the board and can't fit because of PSU. Use Zalman 9500 instead! For some
reasons ran my Corsair DDR2 800 MHz memory on 667MHz, needed to set it up
manually in BIOS on 800MHz. Can't stop PCI-X controller.

Does the Intel board support overclocking?

How is your 4GB configured? If it is 2 x 2GB modules than that may be why.
I'm thinking my problem is with 4 x 1GB modules. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm
assuming you also have the remap feature enabled in the BIOS? Someone else
said they put in 4GB and theirs wouldn't view it all. I just don't want to
buy a P5B and then have the same problem this board has.
