Just a quick question
Have never installed ddr memory
I can't find which slot is 1 2 or 3. Does it matter where the memory
is installed first as with older boards that I have installed older
type of memory with. I have 512 3200 ddr. Should have got 2700
because my processor is a AMD 2700 which supports up to only 333.
Thank you.
 
Refer to yr mb manual;
slot 1 is the inboard slot, slot 3 the outer
In theory 2700 ddr is better matched to a 333cpu
As to whether you would notice any performance diff. using 2700 as apposed
to 3200ddr - debatable unless of course yr life is ruled by benchmarks

I have 2 dimms of 333 and 400ddr, which tested better @ 350ddr
in slots 1 and 3 but they should run in any arrangement.

I ~think~ most pc3200 should be very backward compatible with pc2700
( tends to run better at 2700 speed )

mine run any where between <~250 to 380
 
Iput my glasses on and found the markings on the mb. The 1st slot was
nearest the cpu.
Thanks
