Or not work at all. See DFI nF4 Ultra-D. It would see only one pair no matter what I did with it.

Running 4 DIMMs is always a bitch. My Gigabyte P35-DS3R mobo automatically cranks the latency behind the scenes and needs more MCH volts. This isn't some modern revelation either. You can wander back in time to the days of Pentium and K6s and see that loading up all banks on the mobo will result in the need to turn down the latencies. More DIMMs/SIMMs = more difficulties in signal integrity.

i have noticed the same on my ECS P45BE, p5q-pro, K9A2 platinum, K9A platinum and crosshair II formula

I have had many Gigabyte boards based on the P35-DS3R:

EP35C-DS3R x2
P35C-DS3R x2
P35-DS3R
EP35-DS3R

None of those needed any extra volts at MCH and they have mild OC's. I still have two in my house. Thats the most of the same series I have ever had. Funny thing you use that as an example being one of the best OC'ers of their time for the money. A few of those had 64bit Vista and 8GB of RAM like the one I gave to my GF. It had no issues that I have seen. :wtf:

I think your issue is the RAM you used. Its probably not on the Supported memory list. Common mistake really.

no using ram not on there stupid supported list makes no difference. 4 dimms stresses every mem controller drop max FSB clock alot. look on XS and find me a 600+ FSB clock with 4 dimms populated. there wont be one because its stresses the controller.

People have been buying these processors for a while now... what are you saying?

which ones the only DDR3 models out are the X3 710/720 and X4 810

Just do some searches for P35 and 8GB. See what you find. :)

It definitely comes down to a combination of board and RAM quality. I have 4 sets of 2x2GB. Some of them will work in my P35 at 8GB just fine. It dramatically affects overclockability however. A friend of mine with an Abit IP35 couldn't get 8GB going no matter what with expensive OCZ Reaper 2x2 800 kits. I do believe that it's very important to get 1.8v RAM instead of stuff that has had its capabilities stretched with more voltage.

As for my DFI nF4 Ultra-D problem, well that was more of a board problem I think. The old DFI street forums were quick to tell you that running 4 DIMMs was a feat. Although I don't really have a feeling for how problematic S939 was in general for this.
