1410 11.9 timeline 8 gig mem support

I keep hearing 4 gig support, but Sis soft Sandra tells me my 1410 supports 8 gigs of memory.
Any comments? I dont know if anyone has commented on this, and just dont have time to comb through the pages on the two 1410/1810 threads.

i've also heard it supports 4 gb, i only have two right now... BUT sandra also tells me 8gb as the maximum installable memory

 

Heres a link to the GM45 chipset (1410 Mobo chipset) comparison chart.
It specify's 8 gig mem support.

O.K., found this article dated 08' which seems to imply that 8 gigs is supported in ddr3. This article also alludes to differant size modules being supported as dual channel. Very interesting if this is true, and all this is supported.
For the record, Sisoft ID's my board/chipset as G45/P45.
But the graphics processor makes it the G series.

Looking at that PDF you posted in your other thread, about the chipset. It lists the maximum supported DIM for both DDR2 & DDR3 as 2GB.
Unless this is just what has been tested? Still given the high prices of DDR2 at the moment it would be expensive to buy 8GB to try!

 

Figure that since I started this thread, I should throw this last bit of info out, then its work for the rest of the week, and Xmas on fri of course.
So, here is what I have found out.
The GS45 chipset with hi def support is on the 1410 board, and is supposed to support 8 gigs. This chipset, (or the PM45, which is the same set w/o hi def), is in a great many laptops these days, all of which support 8 gigs of ram. ddr2, or ddr3. Many of these however, are using the su4100. The only differance in the su2300 and 4100, are the on board cache.
The 23 has 1meg, and the 41 has 2, but that should not affect amount of mem support.
I have a hunch these bios updates are limiting the su2300. Just a hunch.
With that being said, upgrading to a 41 from a 23 should be doable. Furthermore, you will notice that many of the 4100 machines are shipping w/3 gigs of ram. That because, according to intel documentation, the GS45/PM45 chipset supports dual channel w/unmatched sticks -- also 8 gig ram, ddr2, ddr3, max. So, I conclude that any limitations are in the bios. As most overclockers know, this is where all this volatge stuff happens. Because these many recent bios updates have no obvious affect, I will let everyone draw your own conclusions.
Please, everyone have a Merry Christmas, dont let the fools out there try your temper, and finally, dont get none on ya'
May god bless you all in this time of peace and celebration.

Correction, L2 cache is 1 gig and 2 gig respectively, sorry...

it support it and cpuid shows dualchannel (i had 2gb + 1gb installed) but a simple benchmark show that this is wrong

3dmark03
single modul = 1400 points
2 diffrant module = dualchannel but 1400 points
2 x 1gb dualchannel = 1540 points



2x 1gb dualchannel + software TNL and 1.7ghz = show my sig

 

Below is something I forgot to post.

Intel is all set to launch seven new dual-core CULV parts in early Q4, which is the time for Windows 7, that is October. The SU2×00 series will be available in two models: SU2500 and SU2600. Nothing is known about the specs so a guess which can be made is that, these are faster iterations of the 1.2GHz SU2300 with 1MB of L2 cache.
Three more models that belong to SU4×00 series will also be making their debut: the SU4100, SU4500 and SU4700. The SU4100 apparently runs at 1.3GHz clock speed and has 2MB of L2 cache. Nothing is known about the clock speeds of SU4500 and SU4700.
Another two CPUs anticipated to be launched: SU7300 and SU7800. The SU7300 CPU is clocked to run at 1.3GHz and is likely to have more chache than the SU4×00 CPU. All new parts is priced at $289, which is typical of new CULV parts. It is expected that the SU4100 and SU7300 will be there in the market first, and will be used in a number of Acer and Asus CULV-based notebooks.

And for inteks: I see your point. Strange so many of these machines are shipping w/staggered dimms. Go figure.

PS, the above post is a cut and paste of an early august media brief

Did I say 1/2 GIGS of cache?
Thats what happens when your up until 4 am wrapping presents w/the wife.

Use the edit function to merge some of your posts... All I can add that the chipset does support 8GB but it also has to do with the manufacturer. They can limit the amount of memory supported via BIOS for example. The real question is what you are doing that requires more than 4GB.

 

But why would they limit the amount of memory if the chipset DOES support it?
