Thread: Which RAM is faster, 2x or 4 x 1 GB 2 GB?

So my question in the title was expressed quite clearly I think. Well, I write them again in the post. Which is faster, 2x or 4 x 1 GB 2 GB? the situation is that I would like to rig up a PC and I've set myself on the main board Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3, which has main board 4 ddr3 ram slots, and I wonder whether 4x 1GB are bolt faster than 2x 2GB bolt.

I wonder still attached ne second: on the main board it is always for the ram "DDR3 SDRAM 2000MHz (PC3-16000) I'm already an older thread to read in part. White net but if I present a ram-bar or take with 2000MHz must go on, but then somehow are not as compatible.

I hope the questions were understandable.

Whether 4 x 1GB or 2 x 2GB total would be bananas. If there is any difference, then memorize the maximum measurable but not so low and if it does not matter anyway. With 2 x 2GB is still the possibility of later upgrade times by 2 additional RAM transom. This is the DDR3 what your board supports a maximum, less should go smoothly. Some processors also support this speed does not, so that the RAM would run it even less.

Recommendation is to take a look at the manual. There is a list of RAM TESTED that was tried with the motherboard manufacturer, as well as "slower" RAM-bar is included.

2x 2GB, since it can be activated and used in Dual Channel. You can also take the bars have less than 2000MHz.The processors with integrated memory controller’s support only max anyway. 1333

So whether one or the other is faster net I can say for sure, but it will if it is minimal and not impact significantly. What can be said, however, is that 2x2 is better for OC than 4x1? Also did you upgrade path even with 2x2. So I would rather take 2x2.

DDR 2000 MHz means that you have your ram to 2000 mhz can (if it join in the ram). You can also install any other ram (eg 1333), then stop running only on his beat (here 1333) and up to 2000 (a 2133 will run only on 2000).
Such high-ram contacts are useful but only for extreme oc.

I had NEN intel core i7 870 in planning, because I have little idea

So the 870 only 1333mhz?

Present is still a stupid question, I would have thought only of the processor clock speed ne?

I've only read something that the data are continually updated on the ram would have

Yes and no: you can do it with xmp profile also bring on the 1600 (only mostly unstable, at least for me) However, as soon as you which cpu over lockers increases, the ram stroke (unless you lower the prime)

But here already, go there with two dual-channels, somehow it seems to me that here, as some think dual channel what was so special even though the technology is totally simple.
