To build a stable system it is always a good idea to buy
high quality memory modules. Over the years I have always used memory
from Crucial as you can buy it direct from Crucial website and it comes
with life time warranty. The quality of Crucial memory is extremely high
and I never had a single problem with them during the 10 years i have
been using them. This is the reason I have chosen to use Crucial DDR3
SDRAM on this system. Please note DDR3 may look similar to DDR2 but the
pin count are not the same and they are not compatible. So you are out
of luck if you want to recycle your old DDR2 memory.
Move both clips on the memory socket to open position. Since we have
two DDR3 modules we will insert the first module into socket DIM1 and
the second into DIM3. This will run the memory in Dual Channel Mode.
DIM1 and DIM3 sockets are colored blue. Please note, if you have 1
module it will be inserted into socket DIM1 and therefore will run in
Single Channel mode.
You will notice that the DDR3 memory has a notch at the bottom. This
is to prevent the memory from being inserted the wrong way round. Make
the orientation of the memory module so that the notch matches the
memory socket. Push the memory module down using two fingers or both of
your thumbs as shown. You will hear a click as both clips on the memory
socket snaps into place.
Repeat the same process for the second module.
