Question

A technician is installing two identical 8GB DDR4 memory modules into a motherboard that has four DIMM slots arranged in two colors: slots 1 and 3 are black, and slots 2 and 4 are blue. The goal is to enable dual-channel memory operation for maximum bandwidth. Where should the technician install the two modules?

Accepted Answer

Into the two slots of the same color (for example, both black slots) as specified by the motherboard's channel layout

Answer

Into slots 1 and 2 so the modules are physically adjacent to each other

Answer

Into any two available slots, since DDR4 automatically detects and enables dual-channel mode regardless of placement

Answer

Into slots 3 and 4 only, because the highest-numbered slots always run at full speed
