Do you have to have 2 sticks of RAM for the AMD 64 CPU?

I just wanted to make sure that I could use my
old 3500 DDRAM with my new mobo and cpu.


Thank you,

The Opteron requires ECC memory, and I think the FX does.
But a plain AMD64 uses standard RAM.
 
Been using a single stick of 3200 Mushkin on an MSI FIS Neo. Works great
and I run the FSB at 215 all day (and night). Don't know that two sticks
would be any better since my AMD64 3000+ only uses a single channel memory
controller. I'm too cheap for Opteron or FX.
 
Thank you Jon.

Not cheap, just smart. They're too expensive. Besides there are changes
coming soon to the Opteron/FX boards, namely the Socket 939.

Not for the Opteron. It will still use the 940 and registered ram. The 64
and FX will move to 939.

Only the FX will move to the new socket, the 64 is it's own breed so to
speak.
