need a quick answere

JFlo · 12-26-2005, 10:27 PM

am at bestbuy atm. They have PNY Optima 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory for 40 bucks a peice. I was woundering if i ran 2 of these w/ 2 corsair xms series of ram if they would conflict (id have the 2 corsairs running in dual channel) I got the last 2 in my hands woundering if i should buy.

if the PNY arent Dual channel, then you'd lose you XMS Dual channel abilities id think

could i have them both in dual channel? the 2 ony's and 2 corsairs?

Ku-sama · 12-26-2005, 10:37 PM

not unless the PNY are dual enabled

i dont see why they wouldnt, but i guess i should check. It should say dual channel enabled on the package right?

something like that, or just Dual Channel, but usually you cant fine Dual channel sticks unless they come in the same box

They can be in Dual channel as long as the system supports dual channel, which it does
