brolin_empeyHurrian: I found this model of Socket T + DDR2 motherboard with all solid capacitors that officially supports up to 8 GiB of main memory:02:48

brolin_empeyIt uses the “Intel® G41 + ICH7 Chipset”.  Any chance of using 4-GiB DIMMs for 16 GiB total main memory?  Is there a Q35 or Q45 motherboard with all solid capacitors?02:48
Hurrianbrolin_empey: all solid wasn't really a thing until the Nehalem era, but IIRC on the crazy "gaming" motherboards for lga775 like the Skulltrail dual CPU ones all solid was available02:51
Hurrianalso, might be worth a try on that board since 4gb DDR3 is cheap, but I'm not sure that the DDR3 controller on it can handle it02:51
brolin_empeyHurrian: On which board?  The motherboard I just referenced uses DDR2, not DDR3.02:52
Hurrianoh derp, thought it was a DDR3 board02:53
brolin_empeyAt least Gigabyte made Socket T motherboards with all solid capacitors, do not know if any other motherboard company did.02:54
Hurrianyeah, it's possible with 4GB DDR2 DIMMs02:54
HurrianIIRC the same generation P43 chipset could do 16GB no problem02:54
brolin_empeyThis motherboard I just referenced uses the “Intel® G41 + ICH7 Chipset” but has four DDR2 DIMM sockets, hence my question if it can use 4-GiB DIMMs for 16 GiB total main memory.02:56
brolin_empeyAnd yes, I realise that this motherboard is full-size ATX intead of microATX.02:57
brolin_empeys/intead/instead/02:58
brolin_empeyNehalem era implies DDR3 or newer.  My goal is to find a Socket T + DDR2 motherboard with all solid capacitors that supports at least 8 GiB, preferably at least 16 GiB, of main memory so I can replace (partially) failed Socket T motherboards (with failed electrolytic capacitors) but continue using the same CPUs and RAM modules that I already have.03:04
