I bought a new SDRAM which is a 256 MB and I have two SDRAM with 64 MB of sizes. My motherboard has 3 slots for its memory. What will be the order of my memory cards in the slots to produce a more faster performance of my computer. Thanx!

Your suppose to set the bigger one first (slot 0)But Ive never seen difference when doing the oposites.
But I recommand to try to get at least a 512 mb and trow away your 64mb mem stick!

As long as all 3 RAM's are connected correctly into the RAM Slots you will not have any problems because all RAM Slots operate with the same bus speed.
But you can connect the 256 MB RAM into the first RAM slot and thereafter both the 64 MB RAM into the other 2 slots.
BYE

Put the 256 RAM in the primary slot. The others you put in the other slots.

You can't do that. When you install new memory it has to be done in same & like units. If you are attempting to get to 1/2 gig memory you will need 2 @ 256mb. You should always check to see what the max memory is for your pc also.

You want the larger chip in the first slot. This will provide for a larger contiguous immediate workspace for the cpu before it has to traverse the bus for additional memory.
However, bear in mind that when you're dealing with increments of time consisting of microseconds; the additional time is minuscule.

it doesn't matter but they do have to be the same speed though
