Hi,

I've got an m2v mobo in which my first ddr memory slot isn't working.
(there are four slots, 2 primary yellow and 2 secondary)

I currently have installed an corsair 1gb in the second primary slot
and I was thinking about getting an gb extra but I'm not sure whetever it is possible, and safe :p , to insert it in one of secondary slots.

Any1 knows whetever I can do this?


And one more question :p, my system is currently not so stable actually very unstable it's either memory or psu (500 watt cooler master extreme power)
Will inserting another memory dimm affect my sys stability?
