catgate Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Does this make sense to anyone? It looks to me like a very bad example of "yes we have no bananas".What does it mean.Foxconn A6VMX MB manual giving me grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think if you have a plug n play o/s me, xp & vista (not sure whether w98 was truly p'n'p) then the OS configured the hardware. Some of the earlier linux weren't p'n'p so the BIos had to configure the hardware.I don't believe there is a problem if you allow the bios to configure the hardware.

catgate Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks for that mark2. I shall alter the setting accordingly and see what happens. I wanted the PnP operational and so set it to Yes, whereupon I got some very quirky happenings. One would think that with the British public's newly aquired experiences of dealing with "nearly English" in all our dealings with Bombay Telecom, we would be able to cope with such crap as the above without turning a hair.

Dencandy Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 If Yes, then No. If No, then Yes, except if there's another No, in which case No also. Ah, the wonders of Boolean (and women's) logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Maybe Irene, Artist or watchful could interpret it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am looking for straws, to clutch at.I seem to remember a discours about RAM some time ago, on WF, and one suggestion that came up was that the total should be balanced evenly between the available slots. Another view was that if multiple blocks were used then it should balance, but it was perfectly adequate to use one block on its own. ie 1 x 512 gives the same performance as 2 x 256.I can not find the posting, so what is the current thinking on this, please? I also seem to remember another suggestion (pops ?) that if a single stick was being used it should be in the slot nearest the CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Oh. Well that is what I will do then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think it was said (written) that two sticks was better, with one stick I don't think it matters as if I have had problems in the past with single sticks I would just put them in another slot, with pairs they are usually coloured in pairs and as long as you use the same colours it shouldn't make much difference. Also you could read the booklet or poster that came with the mother board ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also seem to remember another suggestion (pops ?) that if a single stick was being used it should be in the slot nearest the CPU.I don't think it matters about using multiple sticks (obviously as long as they're equal. not 1 x 256MB / 2 x 256) but try putting it nearer the CPU so it can manage the proccesses quicker. It's like using the same USB port for your Data Bar each time you use it, it begins to "learn & know" the device.If that's understandable. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks all. Also you could read the booklet or poster that came with the mother board wink.gifThe literature that came with the mother board is particularly mean with information, rong, (in addition to being a bit unengrish).It's only contribution is "2 x 240-pin DIMM slots Supports Duel-Channel DDR2 800/667/533 Supports upo 4GB" . However it does say it in 7 different languages (boolean not being one of them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 If it only has two slots then not much can go wrong, all the boards I have used have 4 and instructions as to how to use them, the last couple of boards have been colour coded 1 and 3, 2 and 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be on to the posh stuff, I'm still sluming it. :)edit:-...and not very well just at present, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
