RDRAM question

seamadan000 · May 4, 2002

hey fellas, i got a question:
I want to buy some RDRAM from google gear and they have the samsung original 256meg in 8 or 16 device sticks. What does is the difference between the two sticks. Should I get 8 or 16 device- i have no idea what those numbers mean.

thanks- seamadan000

I once wondered what the difference was but noone answered and the only thing i heard was to get the ones with more devices.

the one with more devices overclocks better

the 16-device memory is $83 and the 8 is $75. Is having more devices worth the extra $8? How much better is the 16 device at overclocking?

thanks

If you want to reach 1066 frequency you'll have a better chance going with the 16 devices.

The difference is that the 16 device chips use 16 128 kb modules, while the 8 device chips use 8 256 kb modules. The 16 device RIMMs are the double sided sticks that everyone uses to get good OC's. The 8 device (single sided) are good if you don't plan on overclocking at all. The 16 device chips are an older technology, but are generally better for OC'in. In my opinion, it is definitely worth the money.

How about ramsinks or whatever it's called.
The standard blue ones, how are they on the 16 ones...
If I am going to oc some rd-ram should I buy those.?
