BombaTwist Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 i was wondering if it was better to have 1 512mb stick of memory or 2 256mb sticks of memory running in dual channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BombaTwist Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) its low, but at least its "OK", better than 265mb anyways. Edited August 30, 2005 by BombaTwist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thauzar Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 That's why you should go with 1x512 so if you want to add another 512 one day, you will still have the open slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombaTwist Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 but i will still have those other 2 slots if i get 2x256mb, since the motherboard i will get has 4 slots =). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thauzar Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 how could I know that my mobo is Dual? stupid Q I know :)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>There is more than one way to find out, but except reading specs on the net from the mobo's website, the simpliest thing you could do is the RTFM method...[Read The Fckin Manual] (old running gag among customer service representatives...)
