Ram

[massacreinfallx]

Hmm, sombody explain to me why my computer performs better with 1GB compared to 2GB

 

[Ronnie]

i didnt know it did i was always under the impressioin that right now 4x512 ram is the fastest right now but 2x1gb is mor future proof

 

[massacreinfallx]

actually 2x 1gb is supposedly fastest right now. 4x 512 is just more memory chips it has to switch between

 

[Lord AnthraX]

can you be more specific?

 

[PitfireX]

it can also depend on your ram speeds...are both (or all four) sticks 100% the same?

 

[massacreinfallx]

they were 2x 1gb sticks of ddr2 800 chipstimings of 5-5-5-15

 

[Lord AnthraX]

can you be more specific?

 

[luke87]

wow, quoting himself. But i do agree with anthrax. Are you saying your computer is running faster with just one of your ram sticks in vs having in both of them? If that is the case make sure to run memtest to see if you have a faulty ram stick.

yeah it runs more responsive with one stick. ran memtest and it reported everything as a-ok.
