Hi all. Just a quick question. When adding ram of different size values in my puter does it matter what size goes where in the 3 available slots ? I have 3 sticks of different size. Should they be placed high to low or low to high or does it matter? Thanks in advance for any info.Brian Hickey

I agree with Derek, the rule of thumb has always been the highest capacity in the first slot and then work down.Question on adding ram ? – image 1

Where you put them does not really matter, speed is what matters,unless you have a board like mine that requires the last pair to be the same. Mine has 4 sockets.

RE: Question on adding ram ?

The placement does matter on some boards, and is due to the chip size on the memory modules. It is to do with address boundaries.
If you have say a 64Mb and a 512Mb card, if you place the 64Mb card in front of the 512Mb card, there may be a hole in memory due to the 512 card not being able to operate on a 64Mb boundary.
