I am a bit confused about your question. My brain tells me that Dram is
generally only found in 168 pin DIMMS and that the bank issue relates to
your mother board. There are generally 2 banks or more of
slots. Sometimes each slot is a bank, in the newer boards, and you can put
your RAM sticks in mismatched, the largest stick in the first slot and
decreasing. Sometimes there are 4 slots, two to a bank and you must pair
your sticks, each bank must have two matching sticks. Some boards bank one
and two, three and four, others bank one and three, two and four. I have
found these often have no markings to indicate which and one must play
trial and error, mixing it about until they work right.
A lot of boards need to be fitted with the right parity or non-parity RAM
also. often it is best to take the machine to the shop and test the RAM in
it before buying, the shop can then look to see what you have, what you
need, and play mix and match to find RAM that works correctly in your
system. I find that even with second hand RAM he shop is generally willing
to go to this trouble. As to what you describe above, I am sorry if I have
gotten it mistaken and not addressed your circumstances.
