PC's been constantly rebooting with some memory drain problem, so I bought a pair of 516mb PC3200 rams to replace the one that I have right now.

Anyone know how I should install these two?

the slots on the motherboard are like this:

I was told by a friend to put one in the single slot, and the other one on the right part of the
dual slots.

Is that right?

What motherboard are u installing these on? U should be able to just replace them with no problems, if u have problems booting up u might have to clear the cmos.

Asus A7N8X I think.

replace what with no problems? The memory?
I'm just confused where to put them.
I was gonna remove the current memory, put the two new ones on the dual slots, but was told it's better to put one of them on the single slot.... just wanna know if thats true...



should I just copy how they have it on this photo?

A7N8X is an nforce 2 board so yes, putting them in Slot 1 & 3 would make them run in Dual Channel Mode. Go ahead, u might also want to tighten up the timings up a bit if u know how.
