Allright. I've seen people swear you must put your 2 DIMMs in 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 but not 2 and 3 where others say it must be in 2 and 3. Which is it, PPPLLLEEEAAASSEEE!!! (ABIT-NF7-S v1.2)

Thanks.:confused:
 
It is on page 3-6 (chapter 3 page 6) of your manual. Start populating memory from dimm3 and work your way down. After Dimm3, you can put ram in either dimm2 or dimm1 and get your dual channel working. If you are running at or near 200FSB, then Abit suggests you only use dimm3 and dimm2.

Just in case this comes up, I have been able to run a single ddr stick @ 210 in dimm1, which Abit does not suggest. My system can run the same ram a few MHz higher at the same settings with the ram in dimm3.
