Iam going to be adding 2 of these to my computer, in a four slot board, is it best to insert them side by side or seperate them by a space? or 2?

I recommend reading your motherboards manual to be sure, but its probably separated by one, but needs to be in the right slots for dual channel. If your motherboard already has some installed just copy it. You should still read the manual though.

I believe that depends upon the Motherboard manufacturer. Usually, the slots are color coded, 2 are blue and 2 are black. My board is an Intel and they recommend filling one color first so I put the chips into the blue slots, but this may differ dependent upon the manufacturer.

Assuming that it's a dual channel board, the RAM slots should be color-coded or otherwise marked. If the latter install them in two slots of the same color. Otherwise, check your board's manual and see how the channels are configured so that you install them in different channels. Generally speaking, you would skip one slot, but it's best to consult the manual unless they're color coded.

Look at the owners manual or google the recommended install order. Some mainboards go side by side starting closest to CPU, others go skipping a space. I have not seen any that do outside then inside, but I wouldn't put it past them. If you do it wrong you won't get dual channel. As for the color coding, some use 1 color for each channel, others use 1 color for each pair. It is more common today to be 1 color for each pair (starting closest to CPU typically). Since it is different for different boards, as everybody has said, check the manual.

All four slots are used up I have the same config of 2x2g + 2x4g for a total of 12g. But it is very powerful as is no complaints. For better performance install a msata drive as your primary so drive.

Jordan, depending on what your computer will handle (max gigs of ram) you will need to use compatible memory. For instance, if you have the 512K in there now, you will remove them and put the 2 sticks of 1GB ram in its place. If you system will handle 4GB of total ram then you would buy 4 of them and use each slot. They will not work together as its either one or the other meaning you cannot use the 512 with the 1GB. Hopefully that answers your question. I had the same RAM in my machine and by replacing just the 2 as my old system would only capacitate 2GB it became much faster! Sincerely, Greg

It has cutouts and mounts for a single PSU and a single motherboard so to fit two you would have to do a lot of customization. You are probably better off going with 2 2U cases with 12 drives each.

considering the pci 3.0 is backward compatible with the 2.0 specification there should be no problem, however, I have not tried this so it is a theoretical answer. I assume you have two 16 slots and the first is populated with another card. Also as mentioned in order to provide the best throughput you will need 4 lanes. Most motherboards provide 8 for the second 16 slot put it is worth a double check before you invest in the card.

４ｇｂhowever only 2 is utilized so what it is doing is half for storing and half for displays i think there was a video online about this however it says 4gb but it is only 2gb utilized for displays so get a second 760 or an r9 280x for multimonitor gaming if single monitor save some money and get the 2gb version and get 2 of them

If they are in fact 4+4 pcie connectors then two (2 x 8) in each card should be fine.if not you can get molex to pcie adaptors 4 +4 molex to one 8 pcie

You are better off using identical cards. Make sure you have a good power supply and good case cooling as 2 of these cards create a lot of heat.

I am running a single video card system. But the space between the video cards must be ample to support 2 dual cards. Doesn't look like enough room to me but the motherboard does support it !!!!!!

Have you looked at the pics? It has both brackets--you can use either (provided you have an open PCI slot).

You can fit not only 1 but two. And if you wanted to go crazy you could fit about 15 of those cards in there. But only two will be plugged In SLI. You could use it as a storage box if you wanted but most of the community would agree not to.

There are two slots only. Mine is filled with 2. 2gig chips. You have to order 2 4gig chips to max out ram

Brandon,I'm not sure what you are asking?How many ways can you install a PCI card in a PCI slot?I'm not trying to be "snarky"...Tom

As others have said, the SATA & Power cabling is required for each drive. The bigger question as I understand it, is that each drive will need it's own ports on the motherboard and if you have 4-drive bays like I do, you will still need to take up two of them with these. So, besides having a bracket in which to install the smaller drives, I'm not sure what the real utility is of this product; whether you stack the two drive as in this bracket or install them each separately, you still have to use 2 drive bays.

No there is only two. However, you could fit two cards per slot if you needed.

You can get by with using the 0 and 1 antenna leaving the 2 open or you could order a 3rd antenna and put it in where ever you can I stuck one in the base under the keyboard. I never used mine with just 2 but honestly I'm done with Intel wireless cards both of the ones I bought had issues. I would go for a atheros one instead.

The pcie slot are available depending of your motherboard. However there are 5-6 low profile back panel slots are available to use.
