Hey all, first post here so sorry if it's in the wrong section. It's not really an Intel exclusive topic but it's the most suitable forum that I could see.
Anyway, why is it always recommended to install two sticks of RAM in a certain order?
Eg, "For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules,
we recommend that you install them in the DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 sockets."
I get the difference between single and dual channel but why can't you install the sticks in DDR3_3 and DDR3_4 (blue) sockets?
Why does it have to start with the lowest number first?
Thanks for any replys, I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere.
