I have 2 pairs of DDR3 memory which I'd like to optimally position on the motherboard.
The newest pair are DDR3 8GB running at 2400MHz. The old pair are DDR3 2GB running at 1600MHz.
I currently have the 2GB in slots A1 and B1. With the 8GB in A2 and B2. Am I supposed to have the pairs together in a channel or according to the colour of the slots?
Ideally, of course I'd love the idea of having 20GB of RAM to play with, but will the motherboard automatically optimize the speed of the memory to use? My motherboard is an ASUS Z97-P.
Can anyone also advise on how I can check the speed of the RAM? CAM and CPU-Z don't appear to offer any help.
Cheers
