BP6 Ram?

aresaid · 9th March 2002, 9:34 PM

Just bought a BP6 with dual celeron 366's. What sort of RAM does this board take, and where is the best source of information for this motherboard? At last, I have a dual processor board! Wahooooo!!

This thread has some info on Ram and issues with the BP6: link

I myself have a stick of PC150 256MB Kingmax ram in my BP6 and it runs no problems. I should add more.

I believe PC150 Kingmax ram is single sided. Is that correct?

Hmmm, so it will run PC100, 133, and 150? Does it really matter if it is double sided or not? Can you only have so much double sided ram or something?

I mentioned double sided due to the fact that some older motherboards, don't recognise double sided ram. EG: You buy a 256MB stick of Ram, but motherboard recognises only 128MB.

I have no problems with my Kingmax stick. I got the Pc 150 version, due to vendor not having Pc133 and price differential was minimal. If you read the link I provided there seems to be a maximum amount that the BP6 can handle with stability. Also populating all three Ram slots can cause problems.
