Maximum memory: 8192MB Slots: 4 (2 banks of 2).Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory. 2GB 2GB 2GB 2GB. This is fantastic news both in terms of PC performance - and my wallet! On top of all that, the exisiting 2x2GB sticks that came pre-installed with the PC 3 years a go stay put - so no need for throwing unwanted memory sticks in a drawer. Or, if you bought a different Dell Config (for example, one using 4x4GB in all 4 slots), you could remove two of the modules and replace them with higher capacity 8GB modules to get more memory (for example, replacing 2 of the 4GB modules with 8GB modules to get 24GB total using 2x4GB + 2x8GB).

Hi Guys,
I've got an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard. Today I tried adding some new RAM to take it from 4GB to 8GB. The board is about 6 years' old. I've never used the black RAM slots before, only the yellow ones (2x2GB in slots 1 and 3).
My system only sees 6GB, not 8GB. I've tried various combinations of the RAM, get the same result.
To check the new RAM wasn't defective, I tried it in slot 1, a known good slot. All 4 sticks of RAM worked in slot 1, so the RAM wasn't faulty.
All 4 sticks work in every slot except slot 2 (the first black RAM slot). If I put any stick in slot 2 - old or new - the PC is dead, it won't even boot to the BIOS.
So it looks like I have a defective RAM slot.
Does anyone know of any way to fix this? The board is too old to RMA. I've tried an emery board down the defective slot, and I've tried squirting WD40 down it. No improvement.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get that bad slot working?
Thanks!

This is the total number of memory upgrade slots (sockets) followed by their configuration. Banks are the way a system addresses memory. A bank must be completely filled with memory modules of the same size and type in order for the system to recognize and address the memory. i.e. :
3 (3 banks of 1) This indicates that there are 3 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank consists of one memory slot. So you can add memory one piece at a time for the system to use.
