Two sticks of Corsair is MUCH better as it takes advantage of Dual Channel controllers. Also, after 1GB (ok maybe 1.5GB), size doesnt matter as much as speedSo what you are telling me since I have 3 slots is that I should fill 2 of them up with 1 gig sticks and that would do better than 3 gig sticks? I would put another stick of corsair for sure.
The 2GB kit is 2x1024MB the 1GB kit is 2x512. You can prolly buy 1x1024MB independently but I dunnoIs the ram ordered in pairs the same stuff as buying a single stick? for instance, I bought 1 gig of corsair xms and plan to put in another of the same later, isn't that the same thing as buying the 2gb kit they sell?
This is the source of the "rumor" of lower performance... note that if you fill up the slots, your ram will be running slower But realistically 2GB is more than enough and anything in excess of that, unless you have a specific reason, wont be really usedso this tells me that 2gb of pc3200 is a good thing i'm assuming? because that would be sweet for my situation.
You will have 2GB but it wont be the same thing as the 2GB kit has two matched pairs of memory ... but for 90% of people thats a moot pointwhat im asking is, if I bought 1gb right now, and bought the same 1gb stick later, it's the same thing as buying a 2gb kit
You know u can run them at high clocks in Dual Channel mode.what is the advantage in the matching of ram when bought in a kit?
It wont be noticeable to avg users.and what kind of difference is noticable? any at all?
