Exercise $6\mathrm{.}1$ Configuring Memory on Paper

Objective: To be able to determine the correct amount and type of memory to install on a motherboard

Parts: Internet access or access to magazines or ads that show memory prices

Procedure: Refer to Table $6\mathrm{.}10$ to answer the questions. This motherboard supports $1600/1333/1066MHz$ DDR $3$ memory modules. The capacities supported are $1,2,4,$ and $8GB,$ for a total of $16GB$ maximum. Memory channel speed is determined by the slowest DIMM populated in the system.

What memory modules are needed if the customer wants $5GB$ of RAM? What capacities and how many modules of each capacity are required?

How many memory slots does this motherboard have? $[1|2|3|4||]$

Using the internet, a computer parts magazine, or a list of memory modules, determine the exact part numbers and quantities of memory modules that you would buy to populate this motherboard with $5GB$ of RAM. List them as well as the location where you obtained the information.
