If you add interleaving (with > four SIMMs), you double it again. 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 ... ?!
