when installing ram

[priviet02]

hi guys

i was thinking of upgrading my ram further on my home computer but i was told its best to put 2 sticks of the same ram in at once.


is this true,,,,,,they said its because if u only put one in then performance dosent reach its full potential

It doesn't matter how much you put in your pc in any given time any amount added is going to increase your speed exponentially

well it's true if your mainboard has dual channel capability,
then it's best to put two identical sticks than a single stick

Preferably to install similar ram modules at once. Different ram module MIGHT cause stability issue.

Its beter to have same same modules, How ever if you do have one stick say 2 gb and another 1 gb but the larger one closest to cpu

here's my dad's pc (factory made/bought)
First slot: 1gb
Second slot: 1gb
Third: 512 mb
Fourth: 512 mb

Looks like this: 1 | 1 | 512 | 512
or it might be 1 | 512 | 1 | 512 (I doubt)

It sucks balls too :p

me on the other hand
out of the 4 slots i have one stick 1 gb

See there are tech rules. If you put to difft frequency RAMS on a same motherboard, ur PC gonna irritate u. So just match the frequency. When u buy buy same frequency RAM as the old one. coz now a days DR3 666mhz RAMs are there.

for dual channel systems you need pairs of RAM modules, for triple channel systems you need triplets of RAM modules.

Usually mobos have also color marked which is which channel.

Tbh, let a pro do that for you, to avoid destroying the computer You wouldn't believe what inexperienced ppl do at times, thinking this is how it goes, and simply manage to fry components.

but two ram mean twice the performance
