RAM placement

[The Reaper]

I was wondering if their would be any repercussions if I moved my PC133 memory from my dimm slot 1 to 4 on a BX6 r2 mobo? I would like to move it to allow better air flow to my Alpha H/S. Thanks in advance.

Abit mainboards have a reputation of fickleness with Dimm placement. Make the change, you'll see if it's problematic very quickly.

Well I tried it. No problems yet. Even ran 3d Mark 2000 and scored higher then with the memory in slot 1.

As an addendum, some boards will allow you to even overclock your memory higher depending on the slot they occupy. (Assuming the RAM was your overclocking bottleneck.)
