I have this gigabyte motherboard GA-8VM800PMD-775-RH
I want to add a total of 2 gig of memory and I didn't uderstand what they mean by Note: Use of a Double-Sided memory module (the single chip is 512 Mbit) is required if you wish to install a 1 GB memory module . Does this mean the memory card has to have chips on both sides of the 1 gig? or does this mean you have to have cards in both slots? Also is it good to have memory cooling?
Thanks
Ernie
Jump to PostI think as long as you meet these specs you'll be ok, I never herd of memory cooling? and I would say no if it exists memory cards do not get hot.
Supports 1.8V DDR DIMM
Supports DDR2 533/400 DIMM

Almost all RAM is double sided these days. Single sided RAM looks like this: http://www.3dnews.ru/_imgdata/img/2008/05/28/83874.jpg with no modules on 1 side. (Technically a single sided module could have some on each side, but I've never seen it).
Memory cooling is a WOFTAM. My modules came with a cooling fan setup but I don't even have it installed. If I were to overclock the RAM a lot I might put it back on, but under normal operation there's no need.
