8 Slots Of Ram
Power Macintosh G5 Q&A - Updated April 2, 2009
Though it’s theoretically possible to get faster performance from 2 chips than one, the likelihood is rather slim that you’d notice this difference. Especially these days. HyperX Fury Black 8 GB CL15 DIMM DDR4 2400 MT/s Internal Memory (HX424C15FB2/8) 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,554 ₹3,550 ₹ 3,550 ₹4,999 ₹4,999 Save ₹1,449 (29%). Im thinking of buying the ASUS PRIME X370-PRO and im going to buy a single kit of duel channel ram (2 x 8gb sticks). I have a picture of the motherboard manuals RAM configuration below, now my question is, does it matter if i use dimm slots A1 and B1 first, or dimm slots A2 and B2? RAM slot, socket, or a memory slot is a gap on your computer’s motherboard where you can insert your RAM. Depending on the motherboard type, there might be up to four memory sockets. If you have a high-tier motherboard, you can even have more.

To upgrade the RAM in a Power Macintosh G5 model, site sponsor Other World Computing has provided a helpful step-by-step video of the process:
Please note that just because RAM meets the minimum listed criteria does not mean that it will necessarily function as intended in a particular Mac. When buying memory, be sure to buy from a quality vendor that has tested their RAM with your Mac to ensure compatibility.
In addition to upgrade videos, as you would expect, Other World Computing sells memory compatible with every Power Macintosh G5 model.
