Replacing Memory

morgana · 2010-09-09 10:13:24

My friend's PC had 4 gig of DDR2 dual channel memory. One module was faulty and was taken out so currently the PC is running on 2 gigs only which is affecting gaming performance :P My question: I have located the same memory modules http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000QILPO6/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE…

which is a kit, i.e 2 x 2gig modules. Can I install those in the first linked pair slots and the place the existing one in a third slot, giving the PC a total of 6 gig of RAM?

Any help appreciated.

Unless it's a 64-bit PC you won't be able to use even the full 4Gb, just over 3Gb will be available out of the 4.

To ensure dual channel mode you should install matched pairs in each bank.

Just get 2GB of RAM unless your OS can support more.
