Can the MSI K8N-SLI motherboard support 3 sticks of ram?

[boybi]

My MB is MSI K8N SLI. Right now, I have 2pcs of 512mb ram installed. I want to add another 1gb ram. Is this possible with my motherboard?

[Syuryuken]

ang alam ko pwede hanggang 4 gig naman kaya niyan

Sa pagkakaalala ko kasi sa mga lumang motherboards, dapat by pairs ang kinakabit na memory module. Pwede na ba kahit hindi na by pair ngayon?

[BlueBimmer]

pwede, afaik having the same pairs with same speeds ay magiging dual bridged ang memory, so if 3 sticks lang at different sizes mag default to single bridged (or whatever they call it) na ang memory mo.

para sakin la naman syado maramdaman kahit naka dual bridged ang memory.

[squatt3r]

two sticks would be operating as dual channel (must be same spec) while the other one is in single channel mode

[Syuryuken]

karamihang board ngayon tatlong slot na lang para sa memory.

dual channel i believe is the term. as long as they have the same speed and are of the same type, they should work together. best thing to do is to try them out, if they work then good for you.

pag dual channel pwedeng mix, 256MB PC266 ipareha mo sa 512MB PC400 ... etc. same with the DDR2 memory.

It should be able to take 3 sticks of ram except the default mode will be single channel. I also have a K8N (non-SLI). I have to find the manual, though.
