| 625907 | 2007-12-30 19:00:00 | Depends on the Motherboard. Have you read the manual? Most boards I have seen lately are colour coded. You have two sticks of RAM. Put each stick in the same colour slot. Some use 1 + 3 and others use 2 + 4 also 1 + 2 I take it that you want the RAM to use dual channel mode. |
