Correct. > Another thing which occurred to me after running this: > what is (PC2-5300) in first bank and (PC2-3200) in the second ? does > this has anything to do with speed? Yes, the PC/PC2 name is an approximation (memory is such a complex thing these days) of the memory module bandwidth (in Mb/s if I recall properly.) The higher the number, the faster the memory module.
