motherbaord/ram question

bikeboy541 · 16-March-06, 01:56 AM

hello everyone i got a ASUS A8V motherboard with a AMD ATHLON 64 3500+ i have 2x512 mb ddr 266mhz ram. my motherbaord has 4 slots for memory. 2 of the slots are blue and 2 of the slots are black. Iwas wondering if it is ok to runn 1x512 mb ddr 400 mhz ram in one of the black slots will the ram work against eachother or is that y they colour code it, any help will be appreciated.

If you have a manual for the mobo, I'm sure it will tell you how best to go about installing ram. I imagine since two are blue, and the others are black, perhaps it wants you to use the two blue slots first. Some boards are like that, but like I said, I'd suggest reading the manual... it'll tell you better than most anyone here can.
