Tyan 2466 unregistered Ram
 
Hello.

I'm using the dual AMD MP Tyan motherboard: 2466 MPX.
The board can handle upto 4GBs of ram, or so the manual says.
I currently have 2 sticks of unregistered 512MB in slots 1 and 2.
I was thinking of adding another stick but the manual says that only registered DDR Ram can go into slots 3 and 4. It also says I can't mix ram types (registered w/ unregistered).

Has anyone ever put unregistered ram in the 3rd and/or 4th slots on this board?
Has anyone ever mixed registered and unregistered ram on this board?
Were their any serious problems with either of these approaches?

All comments are welcome, thanks in advance.

don't mix the ram types
 
I have also tried this and found the system will boot but will restart randomly with mixed memory. Also with just non-ecc, non-reg memory that in a dual processor mp will randomly reboot because of the chipset. This is what tyan support has told me about in the past.

Hope this helps,

Travis
