Abstract

A method and apparatus for analyzing the configuration of a computer main memory. A complex memory controller, which imposes restrictions on the memory's configuration, determines whether a user-selected configuration is consistent with those restrictions. The results of the determination are then reported to the user. The results may also be used to program the memory controller.
