Well, you got several responses, and I'm going to give you another one:
look in the manual that comes with the computer, and do whatever it says.

I have a bunch of machines scattered around me as I write this, almost all
of which have been upgraded with extra RAM, and there is no one consistent
rule that applies to all those upgrades. In each case, I followed whatever
instructions came with the computer (or mobo).
