Hello,
I just purchased E8500 here: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Processor EU80570PJ0876M - 3.16GHz, 6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Wolfdale, Dual-Core, OEM, Socket 775, Processor at TigerDirect.com
and looking for the rest of the system. I am still using P4 on 478 mobo.
The question is, what would be the best configuration for the memory PERFORMANCE vice?
single stick 2GB
dual channel pair 1 + 1 GB
single 4GB
dual 2+2 GB ?
Dual channel always better then single stick, I guess.
Lets not account for winXP 32 bit recognises only 3 GB, I do not care at the moment about that.
I heard somewhere that 1x1 performs better (faster) than 2x2 due to total number of chips on the stick. I can't remember where I pick it up, I think in CPU magasine.
What is better 1x1 or 2x2 PERFORMANCE vice?
Any comment on this subject will be really appreciated.
Thanks.
