Anyone Know If This Mobo Needs RAM In Pairs?

[mr_fishbulb]

Hi all,

My uncle needs to replace his mobo and is thinking about getting an Abit NF8-V nForce3:

As it only has 2 DDR slots, and he only wants 1gig now, can he buy a single 1 gig DDR stick and keep the other slot free in case he wants to upgrade later, or will he need to fill both slots?

Thanks

It sholud support 1GB sticks. Most morden mobos do.

It says it supports up to 2GB, so 2 x 1GB sticks.

But can he put a single stick in there or does it have to be a pair?

should be fine with one stick...

Yeah you can use a single stick.

Dunno skt 754 usually only has two slots anyhoo

That doesn't do Dual Channel RAM anyway so yeah should support 2 different sticks
