ASUS P5W DH Deluxe and a couple of questions

[LEE1972]

Ive just started to install my new pc, its my first build and I just need a couple of questions answered!

Firstly, ive installed a Scythe Infinity and fan. The fan plugs into the motherboards CPU_FAN slot. The only thing is the slot on the board has four pins but the fan has only a three pin connection! My question is can i still fit it to the CPU_FAN connection and leave the GND ground pin free? In other words the fan will be connected only to the CPU FAN PWR, CPU FAN IN & CPU FAN PWM pins?

Secondly ive got some Geil DDR2 1GB x 2 RAM. Do I stick them both in channel A DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2, its been 4 years since I last installed RAM and cant remember whats the best slots for them!

cheers

Thanks for the help Phemo, and you are correct, it is the PWM pin, I just checked the user guide! And your right about the pin only fitting in one position, cheers!

And after reading the user guide about RAM, your explanation makes more sense than the user guide!!

thanks again for your help
