Hi guys,
i was just thinking....currently, i have 2x 256MB DD400 Geil RAM - dual channel.
What is better if i wanted to upgrade to 1GB of ram? get another pair of the above? or dish it and get 2 512MB DDR400 RAM Modules set at dual channel juz like the above?
Which is better? and why?
I was thinking (and i have no clue if it's true), that 4 ram modules could be better since it's like having 4 separate machines running compared to two machines (methaporically).. also, 4 RAMs would be better.. coz it's prolly less heat? and less stress on each module??
Was also thinking 2 RAMs is better / faster coz the cpu doesnt need to access 4 banks when looking for data.
but what do i know right?
by the way, do not take account expandability on this question of mine. i've no further plan of expanding to above 1GB of RAM in the near future or so.
juz wondering.
tea
