Hi Guys
Can you help me to understand.
I have a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 Motherboard
This system can have up to 16 gig ram. Each slot can only handle 4 gig max. The white slots can hold dual rank. Blue slots only hold single rank.
Question
Is the dual rank memory stick then 8 gig? Eg: 8+4+4=16
I'm confused as to what to get, but I do want to take advantage of it's full 16 GB capability.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit
Specifications
6 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2600+/2200/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
I'm confused as to what to get, but I do want to take advantage of it's full 16 GB capability.
This system contains 6 DIMM sockets, 8 ranks maximum. Dual rank modules may be installed in first bank, then single rank modules must be used in second and third memory banks to address 8 ranks total.
Thanks
