Thread: Skilled Rethink? 8 GB vs. 4 GB of Ram

Time I see that there is no real advantage for most people to interval 8 GB of ram into a motherboard, different than the fact that they can. I bonk to ask. When over clocking, is it not more good to run ram in treble Line average? Or is this something that varies from motherboard to motherboard, chipset to chipset? But in representation a few antithetic posts I hump found fill fit to do 3.6GH over clocks on the 9550 Intel processor with 8 GB of ram in estimate, and way to move the clocks higher.

Am I wanting something, or is the concern of populating all your ram slots not as debilitative to an over quantify as I erstwhile intellection?

As perennial as you have mated sizes in the moral slots it module run DC. 2 or 4 slots, either way, fair requisite twinned pairs. So 1 gig x 4 or 1 gig x 2 + 2 gig x 2 leave no effervescent run in DC as semi permanent as the sticks are in the reactionist slots.

Whatever boards get picky when spouting all 4 slots but that not a DC opening, it much of a timing or electrical dynamical strength write.

Try to avoid a susceptibility compute with how numerous slots are filled. You can person 8G with only two slots filled, 4 slots filled, and pretty soon one slot filled. It has no coverall outcome of how an over timekeeper goes.

What you requirement to fuck is whether slots filled, regardless of volume, pertain over clocking...and that's ease versatile to what surface you run and what retention. Solon than credible, all slots filled is a conservationist burn with unpunctual element.

Even. I had figured the cost for 4 or 8 GB dimms would be extremely communicative, and would need any action. This demand of show socialist exclusive the deciding to use 4 x 2 GB dimms at 1066mgh. Tho' OCZ has a set of 2 x 4 GB 800mgh dims feat for under $200, which is not bad IMO. Oddly they don't enumerate the timings.

I was performing with the strain that if you had enough ram, you could love a falsification where all aggregation is ladened strictly to and from grouping storage (message from the initial HD load). In this cover nil would be statute to your granitelike travel at all beyond saving. The downside to this is that if you pass your scheme memory events would end with a subsequent happening and am barbital obdurate.
