Basic RDRAM query

Hi all,

Just wanted to get a RDRAM query sorted out.

My system is:

Dell Dimension 8200
Intel P4 1.9Ghz
768mb RDRAM (2x128 + 2x256)
Geforce 3 Ti200
60GB Hdd (7200rpm)
19" P991 Monitor

I started out with 256MB of RAM, and just put in another 512 (given that RDRAM has to be added in identical pairs), giving atotal of 768MB.

What I wanna know is this: The RAM is in pairs (RIMM 1&2 & RIMM 3&4). RIMM's 1 and 2 are nearer to the CPU, and have the 128's. RIMM's 3 and 4 have the new 256's. Does it make a difference to system speed to have the larger pair on the outer RIMM??? Should I swap 'em over???

Thanks,

Mark.


P.S. I really wanna get Half Life 2, but at the moment I know my specs won't run it that well. I'm getting a new graphics card, but can't spend a lot. What does anyone reckon I should get (or otherwise upgrade elsewhere) to get it to run nicely?

it does not make any difference where u slot in the RAM ... since all slot are connected the same way to the northbridge .... it is only important to Dual CHANNEL ... but then it also just for DUAL not for any performanceimprovement ...
just put the module where you want
HL2 will run ya system ...maybe not with highest detail but it will run ...
with a 9800 pro you will be albe to play at full detail
