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.
