does memory placement matter?

[Maximus96]

using 2x512, does it matter if i put the sticks in slot 1 and 2 or should it be 1 and 3? this is for A64 3200+ in a n Asus K8N-E. thanks

in an s754 system, there is no way to use dual channel, so it does not matter.

It can only be in certain slots for it to run at 200MHz. Look at page 2-12 in the manual and it will show you which slots you can use to have two dimms running at 200MHz. For example using slots 2&3 will result in the memory running at 50% speed.

Also some boards and chips are very picky about brand/type of memory and the slot placement. It was like that with my Asus KV8SE board and A64 3200+.

1&2 or 1&3 both run at 200mhz 2&3 doesnt work. It might be just my board though
