Hi,
I have an aging but still strong ~10yo computer. It's running on an Asus P4PE. I never needed to change anything except upgrading the graphic card, and I would like to keep that way as long as possible.
I was recently plagued by RAM problems. I was running 2x1GB, in the 2 slots that are closest to the CPU, as required by the manual.
After many verifications (testing both sticks individually as well as a 500GB spare stick, as well as testing all slots individually), I was able to identify one of the 1GB stick as faulty... but also that the first slot (i.e. the one closest to the CPU) is defective. Slots 2 and 3 are OK.
I would like to know if I can run the computer safely without using the first slot. Can I put 2 1GB sticks in slots 2 and 3? What about running 1x1GB + 1x500MB, does it play a role to have different capacities in one slot or the other? (I would like to use 1.5GB for the time being).
The manual say the following:
What does this mean exactly? The 1GB I have is Kingston, this one: http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR333X64C25_1G.pdf
Is it single or double-sided?
Thanks in advance!
