i have gigabyte GA-945GCMXS2 motherboard, i have 512 mb(x1) of ram(DDR2-667) installed in one slot, and other slot is empty. I want to perform a memory upgrade(preferably 2gb in other slot), but the problem is the manual which came with it says it supports max 2gb, while the sitehttp://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2521&ProductName=GA-945GCMX-S2 says the mother board supports 4gb. The initial guess i make is that in each slot i can put max/2 amount of memory. i.e 2gb per slot if its 4gb.
So what could be the solution? what memory i should put? If i try putting 2gb in a slot for experiemental purpose, would i be frying the ram?
P.S.: board supports dual channel
