I found this Ultimate memory guide:

Read it and it will be clearer to you.

Your mb is not Award its a BIOS on your MB.

You should have a book with your MB and ther is everthing you wont to know.

What procesor are you runing at he moment and wht RAM do you have at the moment ?

Hi, Tori. Welcome to SysOpt.

Usually the 5th and 6th characters in an Award BIOS string will identify the board maker. Yours appears to be an exception. Award says to look also for information in the line beneath the string.

Press PAUSE when the system first starts and try to find some more numbers, etc. OR, take a peek inside the case and try to find something along the edge of the board.

Tori, can you give us an idea of the chipset?
This will help us to identify your Mobo.

Even what CPU and speed it's running could help immensely.
