considering mine is IntelDX4WB, Id' say no, its not the SLC variant, and it works perfectly fine with 2 banks.
bank requirements are driven by the chipset, not the cpu. Mine is a VIA VT82C496G.
Reading the datashseet for the OP's opti 82c392 (the southbridge), it says
* up to 64mb max dram
* 256 or 512kb cache ram required to cache the full 64mb
* supports 4 banks of ram (which is interesting since OP has 8!)
chipset details graphs supprting 1 bank, 2 banks, 3 and 4 bank configurations. theoretically you can run 1 stick of ram according to the datasheet.
I couldnt find anything on the northbridge chip (495) datasheet wise.
