Exercise 6.4 Configuring Memory on Paper
Objective:
To be able to determine the correct amount and type of memory to install on a
motherboard
Parts:
Internet access or access to magazines or ads that show memory prices
Procedure:
Refer to Figure 6.26 to answer the questions. The motherboard supports the followin
g memory configurations:
• Max memory supported: 16GB
• Memory types: DDR3-1600/1333/1066/800
• Memory channels: 3
• Number of DIMMs: 4
• ECC supported: Yes
• Connectors use gold-plated contacts
• Unbuffered, non-registered single- or double-sided SPD DIMMs with a voltage
rating of
1.65V or less
• Optimal performance can be achieved by installing three matching DIMMs in the C
hanA,
ChanB, and ChanC memory slots.
• Dual-channel operation can be achieved by installing matching DIMMs in ChanB
and ChanC
or all four memory slots.

 FIGURE 6.26 Triple-channel motherboard
Questions:
1. What memory features, if any, are used? (Select all that apply.) [ parity | non-parity | ECC |
registered | unbuffered | SPD ]
2. The customer wants 8GB of RAM performing triple-channeling. Can this be done? Why or
why
not? [ Yes | No ]
With three memory slots to do triple-channeling and memory modules in capacities of 1GB,
2GB, and 4GB, the possible memory combinations to do triple-channeling are 3GB, 6GB,
and 12GB.
3. What memory modules are needed to put 8GB of memory on the motherboard? (What cap
acities
and how many of each capacity are required?) Justify your choice.
4 - 2GB memory modules, because dual-channeling can be achieved with this configuration.
4. What memory slots will be used to install the memory suggested in Question 3?
ChanB and ChanC slots
5. Using the Internet, a magazine, or a list of memory modules provided by the instructor, det
ermine
the exact part numbers and quantities of memory modules that you would buy. List them
with the

6. The user has 32-bit Windows 7 installed on this computer. Will there be any issues with
the 8GB of
RAM? If so what might those issues be?
The user can install 8 GBs on 32-bit system, but he/she won't be able to use it. He/She need
a 64-bit system to do that.
7. List one method a technician could use to ensure the 8GB are recognized by the system.
Once Task Manager opens click the More details option at the bottom of the window to expand if
necessary. Next, click on the Performance tab and select Memory from the left rail.
