Tyam m-board/ram/bios/amd64
On a system running amd64 etch, based on Tyan Thunder K8WE S2895 # D 1629-100, revision 1.00, PhoenixBIOS version 1.03.2895 date 03/14/06 I am planning to replace the eight ram modules Kingston KVR400D4R3A/1GB with 2GB modules, same speed. Since I replaced in raid1 Maxtor HD with WD Raptor HD, I never had troubles with the above ram. However, 8GB are not enough for certain QM/MD calculations. I did a planning mistake - I need 4GB per node - have now to pay for, leaving unused the 8 1GB modules. ---1st question: is any comparison for amd64 between Kingston KVR400D4R3A/2GB and Corsair CM75SDS2048RPL-3200/2GB ? For the latter, easily available here and said by Corsair compatible with the above mainboard, I was unable to find volatage and W, which are 2.6V/11W for the Kingston modules. ---2nd question: I had no troubles with the above system and therefore never upgraded the bios. Should I do that, where to get the appropriate bios upgrade, from Phoenix or Tyan? Thanks francesco pietra Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check. Try the Yahoo!

I have a close approximation of the above in 1 machine (I think the above Kingston and the 1Gb 2700 version from Corsair), 4 corsair on 1 node and 2 kingston on the other. The kernel doesn't really care, the only difference I can see is that according to numastat the interleave_hit on the 2nd node is a little lower (3647 vs 3624). ---2nd question: I had no troubles with the above system and therefore never upgraded the bios.

Tyan, the only problem I had with the last update for my board was that it didn't fit on my usb thumbdrive in floppy emulation mode. But if it ain't broke, dont' fix it (IMHO). -- When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
