Check your motherboard manual. If it needs the first slot filled and that one is non-functional, you throw the MB away. Most are like this. If you can use another slot and bypass one, your manual should tell you if it is possible. Most MBs need slots filled in a certian order. It has to do with how the BIOS addresses the memory. There are no switches or settings for this. Sorry.. C K
