To get the faster duplex mode you must use memory modules in pairs. They must be specially constructed to work in this mode. I don't know how they are wired internally. So if you have 4 slots you must use two, paired modules. If you fill an odd number of slots whether the module is a special paired one or regular memory, the system reverts to simplex mode which is slower.

Speed just means that the module was selected out of a batch because it was able to run at the higher speed reliably. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Oke, II" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 10:57 PM Subject: Re: OT: Memory upgrade disaster > Might not have liked the new sticks.
