dual channel versus quad channel


Recommended Posts

Posted

Right now, I'm attempting to squeeze as much out of my current setup as possible by upgrading it's (upgradeable) weakpoints. It already has 2 single channel 1GB modules. Looking around tells me that I can have up to 4GB RAM. Would it be better to replace my two channels with a dual channel 4GB, go for a quad channel 4GB, or just add a dual channel 2GB?

No system planned just yet.

Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick.

Quad channel RAM is only compatible with X79 and X99 motherboards. If you have a limit of 4GB on your board... you probably only support DDR2 RAM. That stuff has been EOL for a long time now and is expensive. What are the specs of your PC?

By reading ur post, sound like ur computer is super old. 4GB max... its better off to retire ur conputer and build a new one. Mine is 4 years old and max at 16gb and using ddr3 dual channel and I'm about to retire it.
