Compatible168-pin SDRAM memory for Intel D845GLYY

Intel, Motherboard, D845GLYY
I bought a 512MB 168-pin SDRAM memory module for an old Intel D845GLYY based PC. When I insert the memory and boot I get the 3 beeps - Base 64 K memory failure , the memory has been tested in a different PC and worked fine.
I've included the information from the Intel manual below and I'm wondering if there is something I could set in the bios to allow this memory to work. I've also attached a picture of one of the chips, there are 8 on each side of the module.

From the Intel manual:
Main Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specifications, the Intel desktop
board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on
the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal
operation
NOTE
All memory components and DIMMs used with the desktop boards must comply with the PC
SDRAM specifications. These include the PC SDRAM Specification (memory component specific),
the PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification. To view or download these specifications, refer to this
Intel World Wide Web site:
http://www.intel.com/technology/memo
Desktop Board D845GLLY supports system memory as defined below:
" Two 168-pin Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs)
" 3.3 V, 133 MHz SDRAM interface
" Memory configurations up to 2 GB using 512 Mbit technology
Desktop Board D845GLAD supports system memory as defined below:
" Two 184-pin DIMMs
" 2.5 V, 266 MHz or 200 MHz DDR DRAM interface
" Memory configurations up to 2 GB using 512 Mbit technology
Both desktop boards support Serial Presence Detect (SPD), suspend to RAM (STR), and
unbuffered, non-ECC RAM (registered memory is not supported).
NOTE
Desktop Boards D845GLLY and D845GLAD have been designed to support DIMMs based on
512 Mbit technology up to 2 GB, but this technology has not been validated on these boards. For
more information about the latest list of tested memory, refer to the Intel World Wide Web site at:

The Hynix memory you're using is a high-density RAM module. The Intel board requires low-density modules. I'd suggest you buy modules from a vendor who uses a "selector" so you can be fairly confident that you are shipped the correct density modules.
| 05.06.2008 at 02:25AM PDT, ID: 21505804 |
Thanks for the reply.
The module has 16 chips totaling 512MB which means each chip is 32MB or 256Mbits. According to the manuals the board, although not validated, supports memory up to 512Mbit. Any lower density and the maximum supported RAM using both sockets would be only 512MB.
Are my calculations correct?

No, the density has to do with the internal structure of the chips. The chips you have are 64 x 4 chips. What you need is a module with 32 x 8 chips.
This quote is from a tech note on the Hynix modules you have:
------------------------------------
"... Part Number HYNIX HY57V56822CTP-H
COMPATIBILITY NOTE:
...
... High density SDRAM is known to work with the following motherboards, but not Intel or ...
...
With incompatible motherboards, this ram may read as 256MB or may not read at all.
------------------------------------
Bottom Line: The module you have will NOT work with that motherboard. If you get the proper low-density memory modules they'll work just fine.
