englishmen Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I currently have 2Gb of ram in 4 512Mb sticks but am thinking of getting faster memory i.e. the actual speed the memory runs, but as I already have 2gb of ram will I actualy see a performance increase? Thanks in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjLizard Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 That you have 2GB and for some reason you want more. I have 1GB myself!

Tarun Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 That you have 2GB and for some reason you want more. I have 1GB myself! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I believe he meant keeping it at 2GB but at a faster frequeny/clock, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 That's exactly what I wanted to to Tarun. Do you think it may have a affect if a I buy 1Gb of memory but at a faster clock speed? So i would then have 3 512Mb sticks and one 1Gb stick but at a faster clock speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 The increase would be on the order of milliseconds. You're already running with so much ram it's insane... the only way it could go faster (noticeably) is if you had 400 MHz dual channel support, and even then, you'd have to benchmark to notice it.

Eldmannen Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 2 gb RAM is definitly enough, and buying a faster memory module while still having your slower memory modules wont change anything since you cant run the new memory modules in lower latency settings. Wait to buy new memory until next time you buy a new computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishmen Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 If you had a choice(as I have ) would you go for 2Gb of slow crappy memory from a 3 year old dell or 1 stick of the latest fastest 1Gb memory stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corjello Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 If you really want to spend money (as it seems you do) by all means go ahead. But 2GB of old ram will be faster than new 1GB stick. IT seriously wouldnt matter besides the hole in your pockets. I can not think of a single use of a computer that would use all that RAM... Unless you do some seriously intense movie editing/caputuring/producing . But even then, i dont think it could use all that )corjello( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thanks for the help corjello, I did not buy all my memory it came from as follows, 512mb came from my old dell, I bought 512mb when I built my pc & 2 of my m8s built there own pc and bought new ram so they had no need for the other 2 sticks I got from them . Also I'm not that eager to spend ? its just I just built my new pc and I still have money left over from which I put to one side to do so so I was just wondering if any speed increase was available from my question on my previous post. Again thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
