Sir T Fireball Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have a link to the mobo manual (adobe) Mobo Manual but it doesn't help me, what with my missing the geek gene :P Ok, I have 1 stick of 1gig and 2 sticks of 512 - all 3 are matching. What I need to know is if I have to place the sticks in any particular order? The 4 slots on the board are colour coded, 2 blue and 2 yellow.Also, should I dump the 1 gig and use just the 2 512's in dual channel? How do I use the 3 sticks to get the best performance?I thank you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwoood Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Sir T Fireball. According to this(taken from your manual)...you could run into problems if you use 3 sticks.If I were in your situation I would use the 2 512MB sticks in dual channel mode as you'll most likely find that the memory timings on your 512MB modules are tighter(faster)than the 1GB stick.HTH, dagwoood.

Sir T Fireball Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Leaves me with a spare gig of ram and nowhere to stick it, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks Dagwood :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korgg Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 You could use all three modules ... i don't think you will have duall-chanell though .. But i dont see any harm in this ... It is up to you to decide wich is more important : 1 GB Ram in dual-channel or 2 GB Ram no D-C...Personally i would go for 2 GB of RAM .. ;) And may be later on buy another 1 GB stick :) ... And dual-channel then :) ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
