I had 1 2 gb allready instaled then i instaled a new one... same model same everything .. on a p5b se motherboard i used the a1 and b1 slots i figured ill use the dual channel thing... then i started the pc.. and it was running like a fat kid (very slow) i changed the 1n 2n thing to auto.. the same... moved the slots to a1 a2 .. the same... i wonder if its because of the cmos switch.. but i cant find any on the motherboard.. so i said maybe it works. I wanna know how hard did that maybe will cost me.. or if it is something repairable... Thank you for your time :) and sorry for my english... its 5 am here and im pulling my hair out with this pc
