does my mobo only havee 2 ram slots?
« on: April 23, 2012, 01:23:10 PM »
Cpuz says slot 1 ddr
Slot tewo ddr

And has a slot 3 and 4 but they just blank

I assumed they were empty. But when I open desktop I see only 2 ram sticks and no empty ram slots near them or anywhere on mobo

Does that mean I only have 2 slots? Or do I have 2 empty slots somewhere and I can't see em

This is a gigabyte board from 2004
So is it possible I only have 2 slots?

If you see 2 slots...you have 2 slots.
If you see 4 slots...you have 4 slots.

Sometimes sites report specs that are not accurate.

PS...we still don't know what board this is...

2 RAM slots...
Travel to Crucial.com to see if the RAM you got is compatible,,,it will also tell you the max amount on each slot...
