Does Your Ram Slot Matter
Posted By admin On 03/04/22No, you really need to read the instructions. Some motherboards suggest a certain color or order in which the memory needs to be in. Don't be a jerk. Cllerj 6 years ago #7.

Memory standards keep changing and the folks that make it want you to keep upgrading or buying PCs with more memory. For most people running a current operating systems like Windows 10 or macOS. Upgrading your RAM isn't always about getting the biggest and fastest memory kit. No matter which memory you buy, you'll have to deal with channels. They handle four slots that accommodate. No, you really need to read the instructions. Some motherboards suggest a certain color or order in which the memory needs to be in. Don't be a jerk. Cllerj 6 years ago #7. The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following: Channel 0: DDR31, DDR33 Channel 1: DDR32, DDR34 If two memory modules are to be installed, it is recommended that you install them in the DDR31 and DDR32 sockets. Its pg 16 in the manual.

Why Does Ram Matter
Does Ram Matter In Gaming
I recently upgraded the RAM in my computer. It contained two cards in slots 1 and 3 (Or 2 and 4 depending from which side you count). This left me with two slots to add more RAM. One slot was between the two occupied ones and one on the end. I put a new 8 g card in the end or open slot as it was easier to do than putting it between the two cards that were already in there. Computer was been acting weird lately and I wonder if the new card should have gone in between the two cards that came with the computer.
The computer is a HP Pavilion 500-054 Desktop
The Memory card was recommended by Crucial
