P5WD2 Premium, 2 or 4 sticks to get 2GB?

Gloin · Sep 29, 2005

Still planning.

Should I go for 2x1GB or 4x512MB DIMMs?
Obviously 4 DIMMs suck more juce than 2, but does it matter?
I'm talking PC5300/PC5400 DIMMs.

Also: Would the 650 (P4 3.4GHz) run stable at 4GHz with air cooling?

See my sig for power and case...

See my sig for the answer to your second question...

As for 2 or 4, you're rigght that 4 would consume more power. It's also a matter of more chips to OC and increasing the possibility one of them on 4 may be less overclockable. It's raw numbers - more chips to oc means more odds one of them won't.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately PQI is not sold where I live...

I would always go with less physical then more.

4 chips is that much power/heat/points of failure....... etc etc
