Hello All,
I need to change my RAM chips around and can't find info in my manual. Can
someone suggest which RAM slot is the #1 slot?

Puter is Dell XPS-T450 w/ 3 RAM slots. I need to take the chip out of slot #1
and then move the chips in slots #2 and #3 up to slots #1 and #2.

My question is . . . is slot #1 the one on the CPU side or the IDE slot side.
Thanks in advance.
