memory - Can a P55 chipset support 6GB as 2GBx3?


Having purchased a P7P55D-E PRO board, I've gone and got me 6GB as 2GBx3 chips to use w/W7-64. But I'm now confused as the manual there does not mention anything about a 3 chip configuration.


Hence the question, does the P55 chipset used on this motherboard support/recognize 6GB installed as 2GB x 3 chips?



Answer



According to the Intel diagram it only supports dual channel memory.


enter image description here


It may run on that configuration but may not be optimal since one memory module would not be running in dual channel mode. The Asus owners manual does not show using 3 modules, only 1 (single channel mode), 2, or 4 in dual channel mode.


Use the download tab and choose the OS then download the user manual.

You'd be better off to go with 8GB - 2x4GB.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...

linux - How to configure PulseAudio to input/output via ALSA?

How do I configure PulseAudio to use only a single ALSA device for input and output? The default PulseAudio configuration causes PulseAudio to open all ALSA devices when it starts. This makes it impossible to use PulseAudio together with other ALSA clients. Many people prefer PulseAudio to ALSA, but other users find it frustrating. For better or worse, PulseAudio has become a standard and several popular Linux applications, such as Skype and Firefox, only support audio output via PulseAudio. Some users prefer to work with audio clients that output directly to ALSA, others output to another audio framework like JACK, but want to have JACK access ALSA directly. For these users, it is easy to free up all the ALSA devices by uninstalling PulseAudio. However, removing PulseAudio makes it impossible to use audio in Skype and Firefox. A better solution would be to come up with a configuration that gets PulseAudio to "play nicely" with other ALSA clients, outputting to only a single ...
