    It certainly is a PPT converted to PDF for the web, but since it's on Intel's site I'd bet money that the info is accurate save for a couple typos. If it were posted anywhere else I would be questioning it's validity much more.

    For those more tech savvy I suppose these are all the relevant docs, straight from the Intel site:

    http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets...umentation.htm



    A direct link to the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family:

    http://download.intel.com/design/mob...s/31627301.pdf



    Page 63ff has info on the System Memory Controller.

    For your convenience it says this on the memory controller:

    ...



    Each channel can have one or two ranks populated. There can be a maximum of 4 ranks (2 double-sided SO-DIMMs) populated.



    So I guess I was mistaken on the bus speed... but I'm kinda sketchy on the RAM description, can anyone interpret the maximum for me?

    It mentions the 4GB maximum several times in the PDF. Somewhere between pages 40?50, I think. The 533 and 667MHz speeds you quote are for the RAM controller, not he FSB, which was discussed earlier in this thread. The PDF states the FSB speeds as 533MHz, 667MHz and 800MHz.

    mkay, I wasn't sure if that talk of double-sided and double-ranked slots could bump it up to 8 Gigs. Thanks.



    Although, I didn't see anything in there about an 800 MHz bus speed...



    wait, yes I did <_<

    My bad. ^^;

    800 bus speed is the fastest bus speed. 667 is the fastest memory supported.
