Adding RAM

HD_Monkey · 04-22-2008, 03:28 PM

Hello,

I am planning to add some memory to my system since I just purchased XP x64 and would like to utilize my other slots. I currently have 2 sticks OCZ Reaper 1gb DDR2 800 and would like to add another 2 X 2GB sticks of the same specifications for a total of 6 GB. Both would be dual channel sets.

My question is: Is there a particular way I should install either set (EG. 2GB sticks in 1 and 3).

I hear about so many issues with mixing and matching ram that I want to be certain I set this up right from the start.

Thanks,

Slot 1 = 1GB
slot 2 = 2GB
slot 3 = 1GB
slot 4 = 2GB.

Im sure this would leave all the sticks on RAM running dual channel according to the layout of your motherboard.

Ok thanks HawMan. Will try it that way.
