I have a stock 2.66 and a 2GB upgrade via Crucial (2x1GB)

Is there a 'best' setup for the memory.

Stock comes with 2x512 on bottom (board 1).

Is it better to have the 2x1GB on board 1 and 2x512mb on board 2?

or is a 1x 512 and 1x1GB on each board best?

I can't seem to find any preferred method.

Best,

T

This article tells you the best config and why. AnandTech: Apple's Mac Pro - Upgrading CPUs, Memory & Running XP

Barefeats also has an article confirming the same thing I believe.

Two modules on each board, in the slots closest to the logic board, is the best configuration.
