Q: Ram positioning for Mac Pro 3.1

Hi Everyone,

 

I currently have 8gb RAM installed as follows:

 

Riser A: (Top)

2gb in Dim Slot 1

2gb in Dim Slot 2

 

Riser B: (Bottom)

2gb in Dim Slot 1

2gb in Dim Slot 2

 

My question is I've ordered an 8gb kit (2 x 4gb) and I'm not sure in which riser/s I should put them so could someone please advise?

 

Thanks

 

David
