memory, which slot?

[tremmor]

I have a computer my daughter gave me. a uncle added more memory to a intel motherboard. it has two 1 gig mem sticks. my question is (i think its bank 0 with two slots) (and bank 1 with two slots). he added 1 gig to bank 0 and the other to bank 1).

should of these two 1 gig been added to bank 0 leave bank 1 with two slots empty?

thanks

one other thing ive had the computer for a couple months now.
Works fine. it shows two gig ok. i was just blowing it out and took notice.

You are trying to run dual channel correct? For dual channel, the sticks will need to be in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1, or DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (they will be labelled and/or coloured on the motherboard)

ch a dimm connector 1

the two 1 gigs are both plugged into connector zero (channel a and b).

For dual channel, yes it is.

Installing DIMMs

Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual channel configuration.
NOTE

Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) requires a processor with 800 MHz FSB frequency
and DDR400 memory.

Install a matched pair of DIMMs equal in speed, size, and technology (see Figure 8) in
DIMM 0 in both channels A and B.

Hi,

I too have 2x1GB DDR 400 sticks in slots of the same colour of my D915GLVG motherboard. Could someone tell me if i can also install my old 256MB DDR 400 ram in a slot of the other colour? Will it hamper my PC performance?

Thanks.
