It isn't related with the size of the memory module itself. The number of rows is one of the components which is used to compute the total size. Others are: > Number of Row Address Bits (SDRAM only) 13 > Number of Col Address Bits (SDRAM only) 10 > (...) > Number of Device Banks 4 The way to compute the exact size is quite complex and depend on the memory type. Since we want to remove eeprom support from "sensors" in a near future, we probably should improve decode-dimms.pl so that it gives the total memory module size like "sensors" did. It also seems that "Row Densities" would give the size of one row, which we would then multiply by the number of rows to get the total size. I wonder if it always works. I'd guess not, else why would we have used more complex computations? Is anyone up to copy sensors' computations into decode-dimms.pl and let that script print the total memory module size? Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
