This is the total amount of
RAM??”in the figure, 2048MB, or 2GB. (1GB equals 1024MB.)
In the upper-left corner of the General group box, check whether the Channels
readout says Single or Dual:
Single If your PC uses single-channel memory, you can safely put
different-sized memory modules in different slots. Provided that the
memory is compatible, the only issue is the total amount of memory
installed.
Double If your PC uses dual-channel memory, you may need to install
identical memory modules in each pair of memory slots to get the best
performance. If your PC has four memory slots, you can have differentcapacity
memory modules in each pair??”for example, 512MB modules in
one pair, and 1GB modules in the other pair.
Click the SPD tab (see the right screen in Figure 1-1). The Memory Slot Selection
drop-down list should show the first memory slot that contains memory. Note
the details of the memory module:
Module Size Shows the size of the memory module??”for example,
512 MBytes (512MB) or 1024 MBytes (1GB).
Max Bandwidth Shows the memory??™s speed and its ???PC??? rating??”for
example, PC3200 or PC5300. This is one of the terms you??™ll use when
searching for memory.
Depending on your PC??™s configuration, CPU-Z may not be able to detect any memory information
on the SPD tab except the module size.
