I am sure this question has been asked before, but here goes.  On an Intel 440FX dual Pentium pro motherboard, what would be the best configuration for 128MB of RAM? Since the board has 4 banks, would it be better to:
a - have 4 banks all populated with 32MB each
b - have 2 banks populated with 64MB each
Now this would be for smp kernel 2.2.xx
 
The real question is what is the memory bandwidth of a 440FX chipset. I know for my DEC alpha machine, due to the larger memory bandwidth, the best configuration is (a), but for this machine, I don't know.
