Tech607 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have a dell dimension 4600 that I am upgrading for my friend. It says online to install the memory in pairs. It has 4 slots and only 2 are used, what will happen if I just install 1 512mb stick. It currently has 2 128mb sticks.

Numberzz Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 You gain preformance if there are an even number of RAM slots open. You also gain preformance by having a enen amount of RAM. So if you have 2 GB of RAM in your computer might be faster if you have two 1 GB cards instead of two 512 MB and one 1 GB card. You probably won't notice though.
