Mixing Ram

[anbo369]

hey there,
was thinking of buying some more ram, and i was wondering if i would be able to run this ram:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_538_1137&products_id=13322

along side the 2 x 1GB DDR3 1600Mhz corsair dominator Ram taht i already have.

i don't mind if they run at the slower speed of 1333Mhz, as it seems incredibly cheap $33 (australian)

also is that ram cheap for as reason, as in, is it dodgey?

thanks!

I wouldn't get that mate, you won't be running dual channel because you'll have an odd number of sticks which will decrease performance.

You'll want another 2x1gb kit.

does it make a large difference if its not running in dual channel? i mean it would be faster thna just the 2Gb i already have wouldn't it? as long as its faster than that i don't mind so much, cos its so damn cheap! XD haha

thanks!

has anyone bought from here before?

this seems to be the only place i can find a 2x1Gb kit of dominators.
does anyone know of another place that has some? (in australia)

thanks

Just get them there

Single channel will limit your performance with everything, when I had to RMA one of my RAM sticks (with my old 775 build) single channel was unbearable, even with the CPU at 4GHz. everything took ages to open. Games ran like poo
