Do I need to match up Banks or the Dimms in new iMac

Hello every one,

I've been struggling to find a definate answer to this. I have a new iMac with 4GB of RAM (2x2GB)

I have added another 8GB (2x4GB) in the system profiler it now shows this:

Does this mean I have mis-matched pairs?

i.e should it be the Banks or the Dimms that are matched??

Many Thanks

Rob

Sorry it won't let me switch the points around 😟

Thank you to everyone who provided input and advice though!

The correct answer is to put the paired DIMMs side by side when installing them. (One in Bank0 and one in Bank1)
