    Which DIMM slots to use?

    The manual for my Biostar TForce 6100 says that when using 2 DIMMs, place them in adjacent slots (ie, one in a green slot and one in an orange slot - DIMMA 1 and 2). I remember reading that this is wrong and I should put them in matching slots (DIMMA 1 and DIMMB 1). Which is correct?

    nForce 410 vs nForce 4 Ultra?

    I'm finally replacing my old KT266 system and replacing it with an Athlon 64 x2. I'm trying to decide on a motherboard. I'm looking at the Biostar TForce 6100, which is an nForce 410 chipset with integrated graphics (which is fine for me right now, because I don't really use my computer for...
