I am installing 4 new OWC 128 MB DIMMS into my 9500 ... It's not liking something about all of them interleaved A1,B1,B2,B3 which is typically how I install all my RAM in my machines. No boot this time. One stick in A1 only boots. Sticks in just A1 and B1, no boot.
Performance wise, It doesn't matter which paired slots I use does it? In fact, I have an old printed page from Ram Mart memory guide (no longer available online) that says to use A6 & B6 first, then A5 & B5, etc.. How 'bout using A2/B2, A4/B4 and A6/B6, skipping the odd ones?
Matt responded:
Best advice... if they are not wishing to interleave, just don't interleave them... By the way, to interleave on a 9500 (as with most Mac's) you put the DIMMS in in reverse order, don't you (A4/B4, A3/B3... etc)... I added ram to my 9500 and just filled the slots from the lowest A tot he highest B and it was fine... (you interleave backwards so that you can insert randomly forwards..)
It's not exactly like trying to make sense of THE BILL NEILL SOLUTION TO SPAM (or the practicality of it) but Matt, you lost me here on this DIMM slot reply.
