Mixing 256MB sticks with 512 in A7n8x-e
So long as the ram has similar specs i.e. can run at the same timings should
not be a problem. Run your 2 sticks of 256MB in slots 1 & 3 and the 512MB in slot 2 - that way you'll run in dual channel.... Dom "JL" wrote in message ... Hi, Just a quick question: I have to PC3200 2.5 256mb TwinMos Stick in my rig and want to expand to 1.GB Is it good enough if I buy an extra 512Mb (so I have 2x256 + 1x512) or do you recommend me to sell those 256 and get two 1MBs. Also, is it crucial that all the sticks are the same brand-specs of if I get another 2.5 with similar specs is good enough (not sure I'll be able to find the same TwinMos) Please let me know your opinion. TIA JL |
Are you sure?
My non-E needs 256Mb sticks in slots 1 & 2 (= Channel 1) and 512Mb stick in slot 3 (= Channel 2) for dual channel mode. But the E version could be different? -- Doug Ramage "D R Tester" wrote in message ... So long as the ram has similar specs i.e. can run at the same timings should not be a problem.

Just been surfing -
Slots 123= Single Channel 64bit. Slots 1-3 = dual channel 128bit slots 2-3 most people think that its dual channel but its not on the ASUS!! 1-3 is only DC DDR. Dom "Doug Ramage" wrote in message ...
