hello, Byte 5 changed in DDR2 spec DDR: http://www.jedec.org/download/search/4_01_02_04R13.PDF Byte 5: Number of DIMM Banks This field describes the number of physical banks on the SDRAM module. The number of logical banks for the SDRAM device is defined in Byte 17. DDR2: http://www.jedec.org/download/search/N04-NM2.pdf Byte 5: Module Attributes - Number of Ranks, Package and Height This field describes the number of ranks (Rank: any DRAMs connected to same physical CS) and package on the SDRAM module, and module height. The number of logical banks for the SDRAM device is defined in Byte 17. Rank has 2 lowest bits, Bit[ 7, 6, 5] 000 = less than 25.4 mm 001 = 25.4 mm 010 = greater than 25.4 mm and less than 30 mm 011 = 30.0 mm 100 = 30.5 mm 101 = greater than 30.5 mm others :reserved Bit4: DRAM Packgage 1 = stack 0 = planar Bit3: Card on Card 1 = yes 0 = no Bit1: # of Ranks it [2, 1, 0] : 000 = 1 rank 001 = 2 ranks > Memory size (MB): invalid (14 11 96 4) So 96 is bad bad... And in byte 3, and 4 are changed also. I'm sorry I cant provide the patch right now. > I really am impressed with the fast response. Thank Jean :) Regards Rudolf
