I'm adding memory to a Lenovo M58 - model 7360 D3U. The board has 4 DIMM slots. I purchased the system refurbished and it came with the DIMM1 slot populated with a 2GB module. I'm adding one additional 2GB module and wasn't sure if I should install it in the DIMM2 slot or the DIMM3 slot.
After searching the Lenovo website I found recommendations for other systems but not my own. Those recommendations varied - populate in DIMM numerical order (DIMM1, DIMM2...), populate DIMM1 then DIMM3, populate DIMMs based on slot color, etc. I was hoping the recommendations would all be the same so I could make an educated guess, but since they aren't consistent I'm back at square one.
slot colors
DIMM1 - Blue
DIMM2 - Green
DIMM3 - Blue
DIMM4 - Green
If anyone has specific knowledge of how the slots should be populated for my particular system I would appreciate your input. I believe the system board is an L-IQ45 Antelope.
Thanks!
