That's right.
Some MB can work with 4G 4 ranks DIMM in 400Mhz in 4 slots.

Hello,
we are building an 1 cpu 8 dimm board and experienced this problem, and accroding to amd's amd64 bios developers' guide memory speed downgrade should also be applyed to the following 4dimm
configurations:
(1) 4 dimm with more than 2 double-rank dimms, downgrade to 333MHz (2) more than 1 double-rank dimm for single channel, downgrade to 333MHz
In principle I agree with this. However those are guidelines and it stated that the actual details may very per motherboard.
So for merging I would request we have a generic function that performs this logic, and have the generic call in raminit.c make a motherboard specific call. By default that motherboard specific call would simply call the default generic method, but a motherboard that has better memory stability could override this.
