Best Ram positioning in a Hp Compaq 6000 pro

[Dickie-07]

I read all the specifics online and I'm not sure which is the best set up I think balanced is right; what i have is 2X4 gb simms and 2X2gb simms which are all 1333 10600 cl9 1.5v I've positioned them 4gb+2gb  in channelA slots 1and3 and 4GB+2GB in channel B slots 2and4 everthing is working fine and recognized as 12 gb total but i read some where else I would get Better performance if i put the two 4Gb in slot 1 and 3 and the remaining 2X2gbs in 2 and 4 which is correct or was i orignally correct?

Hi:

Take a look at the system information screen in your PC's BIOS.

Under the memory info section, if the memory is installed correctly, you will see that it is running in DDR mode, which is the optimal mode.

If it is not installed correctly, it will be shown as running in 'Flex Mode.'

If it is running in Flex Mode, rearrange the memory.

It is my understanding that in order to run the memory in DDR mode, you need to have the same capacity in slots 1 and 3 and 2 and 4.

So... 4 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 2 GB.
