Title is pretty self explanatory. Does it matter which pair of RAM slots I end up using? I've got b-die RAM at 4133 which I am planning on bringing down to 3600 and tightening the timings.
- Now that we have RAM modules capable of up to 4266MHz, we need to find out. Does high speed RAM ACTUALLY make a difference?Tunnelbear sponsor link: Try Tun.
- If you've got four slots and four sticks it doesn't matter. Use the first slot first and lead on from there. It's not often, but boot looping can sometimes be cleared by reseating your RAM and reseating your graphics card and wifi card too (if that apples).

Which Slots To Install Ram
Does it matter which slot you put an additional RAM card in?
I recently upgraded the RAM in my computer. It contained two cards in slots 1 and 3 (Or 2 and 4 depending from which side you count). This left me with two slots to add more RAM. One slot was between the two occupied ones and one on the end. I put a new 8 g card in the end or open slot as it was easier to do than putting it between the two cards that were already in there. Computer was been acting weird lately and I wonder if the new card should have gone in between the two cards that came with the computer.
The computer is a HP Pavilion 500-054 Desktop
The Memory card was recommended by Crucial
