I have heard stories of people having problems using 4 or more sides of memory. I just installed more memory and I now have a total of 4 sides. I am running at PC133. What kind of problems have people experienced using 4 sides of memory? and will I too experience these same problems? Thanks!!!

From what I've read on here it seems that some DO, some DON'T. I, for one, do not. I have four sides of memory, and it runs stable as hmm... I dunno any analogies. I used to have 2x128MB Mushkin Rev. 2 and those were double sided, no probs there. I now have 2x256 Crucial PC133 CAS2 which are also double sided and still no probs. Of coarse, I'm not overclocking whatsoever. Maybe overclocking has something to do with it. My memory settings were, and are 222 7,9. 5,7 wouldn't boot past the login screen of Win2k.

I'm fine with 4 sides. I've got 2 256mb Mushkin sticks at 2-2-2 5,7. No problems, no lockups. I'm also not overclocking on my P3-1G system.
