Are TWO heads better than FOUR?
[licky licky brown nose]Could any of you super intelegent, handsome and sophisticated Guru's help me with a tiny little problemo? [/licky licky brown nose]
I currently have 255mb Ram spread across four sticks- I dont know the size of each one but they are two small size and two larger size- cant get a ruler in my machine yet- i'll measure when I put a new Heatsink on my Northbridge (accident involving half the thermal pad being pulled off- no probs yet).
What I want to know is this.... If i had TWO sticks of Ram that add up to about 255mb instead of using the four sticks I currently use- will I get any extra stability for whatever reason? Or is there any reason to the negative?
I'm not overclocked, and don't intend to be until I can get a system of my own to mess with, but would it be a worthy investment (plus I can use my current Ram on my new system- if I ever get round to building it).
Running Win ME (so the "Sweet Spot" is about 500mb I think), Rest of it's on my sig.
Thanks- a cookie to the first person to sort it out
