no, not entirely true. There is a problem with Phenoms and DDR2 1066 when for |
| 19 |
modules are installed. You can get that configuration stable with an high |
| 20 |
quality board and some voltage tricks. |

If you have problems at lower speed and 4banks, you have a crappy mainboard. |

Maybe increasing voltages a bit (0.05 to 0.1V) will help you. It did for me |

with one certain Asrock board. |
