So, about 16 months ago, I built my first rig. Well it's starting to show its age a bit, so I believe it's time for an upgrade in RAM. I want 4+ GB of ram, but my motherboard (ASUS P5Q-PRO) has 4 slots, 2 of which are yellow, and the other 2 are brown. So here is my question, Can I use all 4 slots or only 2?

why would it have four slots if you can only use two?

Zane means that yes, you can use all 4 slots. ![[Image: 2mxisdj.jpg]](http://i45.tinypic.com/2mxisdj.jpg) ![[Image: snailLeonidasgo50.gif]](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o162/caitsith511/snailLeonidasgo50.gif)

The different colours indicate which pairs you much populate to enable multi-channel memory.

I did that HeK, but just couldn't really find it in the manual.
Also, I am buying this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6820231122 This will be used with my 2GB of Mushkin ram, to put me at 6 GB |
