Detecting memory interleaving?
Posted by: Nathan_A on 2021-08-29 12:58:40 I'm trying to figure out how to detect whether or not my PowerTower Pro is actually enabling interleaving for pseudo-128-bit memory access. No matter what I do NewerTech's Gauge Pro just shows that memory is being accessed at 64-bits despite every DIMM in the machine having a matching buddy in its corresponding bank. I figure it's just as likely that this is a problem with Gauge Pro as it might be that interleaving isn't actually enabled (maybe due to Sonnet CPU upgrade PRAM patch and/or driver's?). So, I'm wondering if there's a more surefire reliable way to detect what the memory controller is actually doing.
Posted by: Nathan_A on 2021-08-29 14:56:24 Nevermind. I discovered that TattleTech identifies all the DIMMs and whether or not they're considered interleaved. In my case they are, and it's just Gauge Pro which doesn't show great info.
