Re: Which Athlon system are you using that can reliably support 2Gbytes of memory? I don't know what he's using, but we've had a workstation with an Abit board (KT7 as best as I can recall) running with 2 gigabytes for something like a year now. It's an older slot board, thought. 4 512 meg DIMMS. Regards, Dan

"I am curious... Which Athlon system are you using that can reliably support 2Gbytes of memory? " "BTW, typical place and route applications are 90% memory latency limited, so I don't think they will ever get to the thermal threshold limit of P4. " That should have been 1 Gbytes to 1.5 Gbytes of memory. That must have been a rounding error. I am going to have to check the CPUID on that old system I use sometimes. Explain why are Place and Route applications memory latency limited?
