Current System:
Mobo: Asus P5NSLI - rated to 800 (correction: 667) MHz memory - 16 gigs
Processor: Q9550 - stock - no O/C (yet)
Current Memory: DDR2 667 = 4 sticks of 1.5 gigs = 6 gigs
More Mobo Info:
FSB range = 133MHz to 400MHz at 1MHz increment
Memory range = 533MHz up to 1200MHz at 1MHz increment
This is an upgrade for a client of mine, and I really could use your help.
Which one?
2 x 4 gig DDR 800 = 8 gig total
4 x 4 gig DDR 800 = 16 gig total
2 x 4 gig DDR 1000 = 8 gig total
4 x 4 gig DDR 1000 = 16 gig total
2 x 4 gig DDR 1066 = 8 gig total -------- < This one? >
4 x 4 gig DDR 1066 = 16 gig total
4 x 2 gig DDR 1100 = 8 gig total
or something else?
The reason I ask is the bottleneck seems to be the FSB / memory.
So it seems to me a faster setting if possible with 2 sticks of memory would be the way to go. Right?
Any suggestions on what 4 gig sticks of memory to buy? Thanks
