It's been awhile since I worked on an AMD pc. I got one from a friend who has the Asus Crosshair mobo and the AMD 6000+ cpu . To my knowledge is there still a problem with running 4 sticks of memory on an AMD nforce 590 mobo. The OS is vista 64bit . I would appreciate any advice thanks.
 
Um there shouldn't be... 64bit supports up to 16gb of ram, so you'll be fine. Im getting ready to upgrade to 4gb here fairly soon.
 
Yeah my only concern is that the pc is locking up from time to time. The memory in which he has is not dual channel just PC6400 and it'e made by a company called Nanya. All I can find is that the voltage is to be set on 1.8. Their website sucks and does not give any timings at all.Thanks for the help.

I had exactly the same problem. I used the Asus crosshair with an X2 6000+ in it. I had 2GB OCZ memory in it and the bugger would lock up periodically. Sometimes just needing to wait 30 seconds for it to come back to life, others times needing a reboot.


I tried all sorts but couldnt fathom the problem so took it to a local shop where the guy could test it and he couldnt find anything wrong. So thinking it might be the motherboard I took ti back to the store. They tested it and said all was fine.

In the end I got fed up trying to work it out so bought a Gigabyte 775 board and a q6600 instead.

I sold the motherboard and CPU seperately on ebay and i've had no complaints about either so both must work perfectly fine. I have to wonder if there wasnt a compatibility issue between the two but no amount of googling found a solution.


If you find a solution then please do let us know as it completely stumped me!
 
Jimmymac could you recommend a board for this guys pc ? He wants to stay with AMD. I myself tried to get him to switch to intel but no luck and I'm not that familar with socket AM2 . Thanks

Does this board have a good rep using 4 gigs of memory? (Asus M2N32-SLI Premium Vista Edition nForce 590 SLI Socket AM2 2000MHz DDR2-800 )
