Tip: The driving capability of new generation
chipset is limited due to the lack of a memory
buffer (to improve performance). This makes
DRAM chip count an important factor to take
into consideration when you install DIMMs.
Unfortunately, there is no way that the BIOS
can identify the correct chip count, you need
to calculate the chip count by yourself.
