SODIMM question. (dual channeling, diff freqs, etc.) HEEELLLPP

[boot180]

---

Before anything else, let me share the internal specs sa akong laptop:

Lenovo g480
i3-2328M (2.2ghz)
4gb DDR3 RAM (2gb 1333mhz + 2gb 1600mhz) [laptop only has 2 SODIMM slots]
Intel HD 3000 Graphics (i know, not for gaming hehe)
Win 7 Ulti x86

I recently bought a single 8gb stick (1333mHz) since ni saka na ko to a 64-bit version sa Win 7 Ulti. I do some multimedia editing on my comp (Photoshop, After Effects, etc.)

So anyway, that leaves me with 3 memory sticks as of the moment:
1 x 8GB DDR 1333mHz
1 x 2GB DDR 1333mHz
1 x 2GB DDR 1600mHz

Of course, gamiton jud nako ang 8GB.

But unsay nindot i-pares niya with what I have left? Ang 1333 or ang 1600? Mu-matter ba ang speed when i-pair? Or is it better na ang 8GB ra akong i-taud? Is there really gonna be a significant difference or actual noticeable upgrade sa 8GB compared sa 8GB + 2GB?

Kay I'm also contemplating on selling both 2GB sticks for extra moolah. hehe

Thanks daan, sirs of istorya.

Multi-channel memory architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A matching pair needs to match in:

Capacity (e.g. 1024 MiB). Certain Intel chipsets support different capacity chips in what they call Flex Mode: the capacity that can be matched is run in dual-channel, while the remainder runs in single-channel.
Speed (e.g. PC5300). If speed is not the same, the lower speed of the two modules will be used. Likewise, the higher latency of the two modules will be used.
Same CAS Latency (CL) or Column Address Strobe.
Number of chips and sides (e.g. two sides with four chips on each side).
Matching size of rows and columns.

Mas maayo bro 2x4GB DDR3 1333/1600Mhz nlng imong paliton so that you'll have the benefit of Dual Channel Memory which is twice as fast as Single Channel. Pero sa tinud-anay lang, you won't see much the difference unless mag benchmark ka hehe, i can't say nga twice as fast gyud but there is an increase of the performance maybe 10%-20%?. .unya kana imong 2 pcs. 2GB 1333Mhz & 1600Mhz ibaligya nlng na sa B&S.. or imo nlng na ipa raffle haha bro butitoy said
