If you were seriously constrained on memory, which shouldn't normally be
the case with 512MB, it might improve performance slightly but otherwise
it's a big loss because your DDR400 will run at DDR266... the speed of the
slow module. Certainly at the price of memory now, it makes no sense at
all to me.

I'm sure that Intel et.al. will be delighted to know that they
are/have
been using an nVidia "invention" for the past 5 years or so.:-[]

Oh really, please show me a link to anywhere that is selling an Intel
Chipset, specifically with a dual channel memory controller. Exclude
dual processors, which only just came out. And don't include DDR, as
I already explained the difference between the two.

Incidentally; everytime I try to quote, it quotes the whole thing.
I'd rather just copy and paste. I've never actually seen boards like
these.

You can find umpteen "links" to chipset Data Sheets at Intel's Web site
which have dual channel memory controllers. If you insist on excluding
DDR-SDRAM controllers, there's the DRDRAM controllers such as i840 &
i850... though if you knew anything at all, you'd not be asking to exclude
DDR. Dual channel DDR-SDRAM controllers are in all Intel's recent chipsets
from servers down to desktops. Dual channel & DDR each works independently
of the other *BUT* the two technologies can be used at the same time<gasp>
- they are not mutually exclusive.<boggle>

This is not a "board" sunshine - it's Usenet. Just figure out how to use a
newsreader, with threads... and trim out any quoting which embarrasses you
from your previous posts:-[]... or, alternatively, go back to your
chatrooms and Web site err, boards.

Give it up, Black Knight. You lost your last leg ages ago.
