XMS2 RAM question

JLV2k5 · 01-14-2008, 03:30 AM

Here are too RAMs that apply to my planned system.

SLI type

Regular

What is the difference besides the SLI, if any? And is it okay to run SLI ready RAM in non SLI system, with only one GPU? Thanks.

I would go with the first kit if you don't mind waiting for the rebate, as it does have lower latencies.

So is it fine to use SLI RAM outside of an SLI setup? Thanks

Yes it's perfectly fine.

Thanks. So what is the difference between SLI RAM and non SLI ram? Does it simply work better with two GPUs than RAM that isnt made for this purpose?

Its nothing no more than extra EPP programed into the SPD

Enhanced performance profiles? And what is SPD, I have no clue...

Right, nothing you cant do manually but if it has SLI on it they guarantee the settings to be stable.
