Question of ramm..

[AFEDslayer]

Ok i now have 2 512sticks of ram in my comp- my mobo has a total of four slots- now if i buy 2 1gb sticks and throw em in, do you all think i will be able to run 2 1gb+Plus 2x512sticks?

My mobo is a Asus p5gd1.

Re: Question of ramm..

You should be ok to run them but check your motherboard user guide to see if it will default back to 333Mhz or maintain its 400Mhz speeds.

Get a good set of 1G sticks and sell the 2x512.

Corsair XMS, OCZ Plat, Geil Plat, Patriot Performance 2-3-2-5 all good.

I can't say enough about 2G 2-3-2-5 at 200MHz, FANTASTICS WOW WOW WOW.

and i was going to get a good set of 2 gigs and put it one of the comps, take the other 2 512 sticks and add them to my other computer...

Re: Question of ramm..

I checked and both of the boards you listed support the population of all four DIMMs.

Re: Question of ramm..

Sorry. The way I'm using the term, DIMM = the slots the RAM fits into on the motherboard. DIMM actually stands for Dual In-line Memory Module.

To the question of populating all four DIMMs: According to the user guides they both support installing double sided modules in all four slots which in essense means yes, you can put four 512MB sticks in either of those boards.
