| Topic | RAM Upgrading Question... |
| Lopen 10/19/19 1:07:38 PM #37: | The big thing with RAM is matching the clock speeds (the Hz speed listed on the sticks) and type (DDR4, ECC, or whatever) and pairing them on the Ram slots properly. Getting pairs of sticks is preferable cause the manufacturer ensures they play nice. If you mix brands or even unpaired sticks of the same brand you can have problems, though I've not had it happen often-- if you're just frankensteining a PC together it'll probably be okay. Not that you're doing this. Anyway if you have 2 slots it's easy if you have 4 they will be arranged so it's like 2 pairs of 2, and you put your pairs of sticks in the left or right slot of each pair. The slots are color coded for this as well, usually, to put the pairs in the slots of the same color. If you're just replacing your sticks in the same slots this is not a concern but just for future reference that's really the only subtlety. --- No problem!
