I have an ASUS P/I P55TP4XE board. Yesterday I inserted 2 additional
16 MB PS/2 modules. Is memory interleaving done automatically by the
board ? How do I see if it works this way ?

Does every board memory interleaving ? What if you have a Tyan
Tomcat II, that allows you to insert 8 SIMM modules ... ?!
