Question : Problem: Memory installation orientation
|
|
I am having a problem figuring out the orientation of my memory installation. I have four slots. Two of one color and two of another. I assume that means something but nothing is mentioned in the owners manual. In the manual, the guide shows a layout that makes no sense to me and does not correspond to the colors. I have 2 one gig pieces I am installing. I am tempted to buy 2 more and just fill up the slots. Does anyone know in what order these memory boards need to be installed?

As in your attached page from the manual and the attached image here you add the sticks one in each color slot. Either a pair in the even slots or a pair in the odd slots or in all four slots. You're right if you put two sticks next to each other only one will be found (the one in the orange slot).
The board will take a maximum of 8GB so when full you would need a 64bit OS to see all of the available RAM anyway
With your arrangement of 2 x 1GB sticks you should start with slots 1 (Orange) & 3 (Green).
