The correct RAM setup

[butitoy]

bro,ok rana 4gb in 1 stick at least in the future naa ka option kung mag add ka into 8gb,but remeber bro kung mag 4gb ka tapos 32 bit lng imo OS dli na ma recognize sa imo system na 4gb ka ky ang 32 bit is marecognize nya until 2gb memory lng..pro mag 64bit ka marecognize na imo 4gb..

it's 3.25+ GB RAM for 32bit

232 = 4,294,967,296
4,294,967,296 / (1,024 x 1,024)/8 = 3.2768GB

while for 64bit

264 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 / (1,024 x 1,024) / 8 = 2 exabytes In case you're wondering, the progression is giga, tera, peta, exa.

and having 2 x 2GB is far more better than a single 4GB stick..never mind power consumption between the two, your electric meter won't even blink on the power difference..

but ur power computing will DO MORE than blink..

and for that reason..intel came up with TRIPLE CHANNEL on i7 + x58 Mobo

and QUAD CHANNEL on Sandy Bridge E..

performance jump..

very well said!

performance-wise.. two heads are better than 1.. hehehe..

yaw na huna2x-a ang power consumption kay fraction ra kaayo na.. dili na ka tarog..

One disadvantage of using all the slots kay when the time you want to increase your ram, you have to remove one of them which is a hassle. So if your planning to upgrade it later, better buy the highest single stick, then just add a couple of sticks later

btaw tinoud sad kung plan nmu upgrade pa pohun..

[keropi]

pwede man sad buy na karon ug 2 x 2gb then add later on another 2 x 2gb or 2 x 4gb ...

[masakiton]

1x 4GB
kung maka extra ka.. palit ka lain 4gb
gamit na ang 2 slots

[werty]

id go for 1x4gb.. negligible ra kaayo ang performance difference between dual-channel ug single channel on most everyday apps and use, unless specific jud imo needs..

mao jud boss nindot jud bitaw higher ram ang imo mapalit daan para inig upgrade dili napud mag ilis ug new memory. Igo nalang ka mag add ug new sa vacant slot.
