    Just curious, which ram slot is which on the m11x r3?

    As in, the bottom slot (ram stick underneath the other) is slot 1?

    Thanks.

    Easiest way to check is to remove the easiest one to get at and check cpu-z.

    I was going to do that, but was hoping someone has already done it and knows which is which.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The service manual suggests the lower connector should have ram installed first so I think that's the primary slot.

    The main one is the bottom one.

    Weird, it seems the bottom one is showing as slot 3 in CPU-Z, was wondering.
