If you have 6 slots you'll have 2 sets of 3, for which you need 3 identical pieces of ram, in slots 1, 3, 5, to achieve the DDR benefit.

You can't just multiply the number of sticks by the speed, and hte multiplier doesn't go over 3, it's x2 for patched pair or x3 for matched set of 3, and only if they're in the proper configuration.
hmmm I see....

Ok then help me out with this.

I have 3 sticks of 2G ram in 3 slots (total of 6 slots), according to the bios setting they are running at 1854 MHz, according to speccy its 927 MHz, is this correct or is my ram configuration incorrect? I assumed just sticking them all in side by side was fine?
