DIMM 2 slot memory limitations
Because of some limitations with Athlon 64 socket 939, the DIMM 2 slot in the SN95G5 has limited functionality when only one RAM module is installed.
Because of some limitations with Athlon 64 socket 939, the DIMM 2 slot in the SN95G5 has limited functionality when only one RAM module is installed. Note, that when two modules are installed, this RAM issue disappears, and the SN95G5 functions completely normally in dual-channel mode.
For this reason we suggest that you install any RAM module into the DIMM 1 slot first, reserving the DIMM 2 slot for the second module or future upgrades.
