Q: Where to locate new ram mods in the 4 slots?
Hi there
I have just increased my current four ram mods from 4 x 2Gb to 2 x 8Gb & 2 x 2Gb increasing it overall from 8 Gb to 20 Gb. Part of the reason for this is due to a regular spinning beachball which seems to have stopped now I'm glad to say.
Is there a preferable order to their location? I'm being told that the 8Gb should go side by side in the top slots whilst others tell me it doesn't matter.
Some clear advice would be welcome.
My iMac ram is working fine as shown in the photo below.
Some advice as to the readings of my activity monitor for memory would be welcome too. Its currently showing Memory used at 7.28Gb and Cached files of 3.29Gb. I can send through some photos of this too if it would help?
Many thanks
Steve
