DL 160 G5 Memory upgrade

[stevekat]

I have a DL 160 G5 with 8 x 512MB Dimms.

I have two 4GB Dimms to add. I am going to remove two of the 512MB Dimms.

1) Do the memory pairs go in the first and third slot, fifth and seventh, second and fourth and sixth and eighth slots?

2) With mixed size sets of pairs, is their a preferred place for the larger Dimms to be installed, for instance, in the first and third slots?
