DDR2-1066 4gb vs DDR2-800 8gb

amd64crazy07 · 04-11-08, 09:36 PM

Which would be a better route to run? I do overclock and am looking for the best possible run i can get..

Right now I have the Dominator Series @ 1066 o/c to 1170. (4-1gb)

If I went to 8gb of ram running say G Skill ddr2-800 (2-2gb) would i see any more of a performance increase?? And id probably get a lower o/c with this speed of memory, right?

I'd stick with 4Gb for now man. Theres no reason for more than 4Gb right now unles you're going to running virtual machines. I'd say stick with what ya got.
