MSI K9N4 SLI board- Memory Installation

External Since: Nov 22, 2007 Posts: 2

The memory installation part of the manual is a little sketchy. I put a 1
gig memory module in slot 1 and slot 3. Is this right? The manual simply
says to use slot 1 first. The pics show 1-3 and 2-4 combinations (I think).

Thanks

If you don't like the information in your user manual, try
running a benchmark program that measures memory bandwidth.
Install DIMMs in 1 and 3. Test the bandwidth. Move DIMMs to 1 and 2.
Retest and compare results. You'll soon be able to verify
which config is the right one.
