On a system running amd64 etch, based on Tyan Thunder K8WE S2895 # D 1629-100, revision 1.00, PhoenixBIOS version 1.03.2895 date 03/14/06
I am planning to replace the eight ram modules Kingston KVR400D4R3A/1GB with 2GB modules, same speed. Since I replaced in raid1 Maxtor HD with WD Raptor HD, I never had troubles with the above ram. However, 8GB are not enough for certain QM/MD calculations. I did a planning mistake - I need 4GB per node - have now to pay for, leaving unused the 8 1GB modules. ---1st question: is any comparison for amd64 between Kingston KVR400D4R3A/2GB and Corsair CM75SDS2048RPL-3200/2GB ? For the latter, easily available here and said by Corsair compatible with the above mainboard, I was unable to find volatage and W, which are 2.6V/11W for the Kingston modules. ---2nd question: I had no troubles with the above system and therefore never upgraded the bios. Should I do that, where to get the appropriate bios upgrade, from Phoenix or Tyan?
