Hello all,
This question is regarding my nf7-s2 and ram. Previously, I had two sticks of 512 MB of RAM in my PC. One of them went bad ( incidentally the one closest to the CPU..could it have cooked the ram? ) so now I only have 1 512.
Looking at my manual, I cant see where it says sticks of ram must be matched size wise..just in terms of speed.
Q) Do I have to add another stick of 512 or can I add something greater like 1 stick of 1 GB?
In that case I would have (1) 512 MB and (1) 1 GB sticks of ram in my PC.
My MB has three DIMM slots. DIMM 1 is closest to the CPU and 3 the furthest.
How would you reccomend I place that ram if the above plan works? the 1 GB in DIMM 1 and 512 in DIMM 2? I would prefer to place the 512 in DIMM 1 if the CPU in fact cooked the last stick of RAM there.
I really dont run my PC all that hot ( 110 F avg I would say for CPU ) but that was my only guess on why that stick went bad.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
