I need to know one thing about my motherboard

[bluewolf]

Hi all,

I have Asus P5Q SE PLUS, and i have currently 4 gb's ram DDR2 (2gb's in one slot, and 1 gb x2 in other 2 slot's).

But, i have another 1 gb DDR2, and i was wondering, if it is okay to me using 5 gb's DDR2?

I really want some advices (those really good) to make my computer have the best performance with the things i have.

My operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit's!

Thanks for your time teaching me new things xDD

thanks xD

but, can you tell me if, it's okay using unpaired slots? in this motherboard?

Like, 1º slot = 2 gb's, and the rest of the slots 1 gb... can i do this ? or ou don't recommend?

that should be fine just make sure that all the memory is the same speed I.E. ddr 1200/1066/800/667 do not mix

How many RAM slots does your motherboard have? It's Ok if there's a free slot available. Mind though these two things:

1. 5 sticks won't run Dual Channel
2. The sticks better be matching with EXACTLY the same specs - better if identical of the same brand.
