The management engine/mismatched dimms issue making "L-shaped" memory
(part dual channel, part single channel) in the 945-gm45 era was never
handled (somewhere in g45-ilk era, there was a reg the BIOS could set
that would make L-shaped memory have consistent swizzling anyway).  I
never found precise docs on how to figure out what the shape of the L
was -- I suspect you'd get to find out by poking at things like TOLUD
and experimenting with binding all the pages you can grab to find which
are swizzled.
