I ordered 2x2GB sticks before I knew better, only to discover that this computer can only take 3GB max. Fortunately, I was able to return one of them and kept one of the original 1GB sticks in the other slot, for a total of 3GB (which works fine).
Is dit een goede vraag?

Your system can support both 2GB sticks, yes it will only use the 3GB. But that 1GB loss offers interleaf were as using the one 1GB & one 2GB sticks loose that. Don't forget to update your EFI firmware.

What do you mean by "interleaf" when using two 2GB sticks?

Maybe this will help explain Wiikipedia - Interleaved Memory

Thanks for the link. Do the two sticks have to be the same brand for it to work, or just the same capacity?
door Jeff Evans
You want a matched pair (same brand & series)
