which is better for my setup.

i do multitask at times. when i encode dvds ill still chat on aim and surf net n what not while music is playing. this would run better unganged.

but what will make the system more snappy with loading times ganged or Unganged
 
I would just stay with unganged, from what I've read the performance differences are negligible and having your RAM running unganged (2x64) is better for multithreaded processing.
 
May i ask what ganged and unganged is?

Unganged works as 2 independent 64bit memory controllers. I run mine unganged, think its suppost to be alittle faster/stable overall, by a small amount. I say it helps more if its multithreaded, plus there is probable less wait time accessing the controller too.
 
Ganged for legacy apps and unganged for new multithreaded apps.

Loading times of a single process would probably best be ganged but the processor is not your weakest link in this case. Your hard drive is what affects load times.
