I haven't checked Macguru's lately--that used to be pretty good. Here is my definition of interleaving: "When I have matched pairs of RAM stuff on my 7300 and it appears to double in speed--and takes your breath away--I am interleaving. I don't think it works with 128 Meg DIMMs--I guess this has something to do with the fact that these didn't exist at the time the 7300 was built. The only way I can tell if I am interleaved is that desktop stuff really really speeds up. I would recommend that to match pairs of DIMMS you really match them absolutely. Just matching size and speeds of the DIMMs isn't necessarily enough. Since, I couldn't get 128 Meg DIMMs to interleave, and 64 Meg would work, I took my matched 128s out. Its faster with less RAM if that RAM is interleaved. I have pairs of 16, 32 and 64 Meg DIMMs and they seem to be doing the trick. Apparently all this has something to do with the 7300 memory manager chip. I would love to find out how I could know for sure that the interleaving is working.
