I have an ASUS P5N-E SLI m/b which has two faulty Channel A slots.The 4 x DDR2 667Mhz 5300U 1GB rams all work in the B channel slots.If I buy 2 x 2GB Rams and use them in B channel would that cure my problem.I have inspected the faulty slots and also looked at the processor,but cannot see any obvious problems there.The whole system, a MESH Elite Q4 FX,with a LGA775 processor was working fine up to a month ago.I am running Windows 7 and motherboard handbook says it is capable of 8MB of Ram when using Windows 2000 The system is 7 years old and has served me well,is it time to say farewell and upgrade.
Channel A Ram slots faulty.Can I put extra capacity RAM in other slots to cure problem.

You'd have to buy DDR2 RAM if you wanted it to work with that motherboard.
But such RAM is already 2 generations old and can be expensive to find.
I recommend that you get a new PC entirely; it would serve you better I think.
