Memory Question

[Henya]

Is it bad to have one stick of 512 RAM and one of 256 running equalling 768 of total RAM.

Just wondering.

If so, if i bought another 512 stick and ditched the 256 equaling a gig 24 would that make things flow smoother.

My framerate sucks in major battles but usually runs ok otherwise hovering around 60fps

yes runig it in a 2x512 setup should do dual channel, were your setup might not, or it may its hard to say.

Can i get some other specs please?

[Electrofreak]

dual channel = teh good

[DeadTeddy]

if you're on an AMD rig, it will be just like buying 256 more ram, but if it's an intel, that's a major increase in performance.

[Electrofreak]

er, no... AMDs can run dual channel too. only AMDs like my AMD 64 3200+ cannot run RAM in dual channel

But the Athlon Duall cahnnel is not realy as noticable as the P4's becasue the P4 benifits a freaking lot more

[Electrofreak]

true :-\

[Henya]

thanks guys i think ill buy another 512 stick and ditch this 256

yeh im on a pentium 4

Good choice. Now remember, first time you play PlanetSide with 1 gig of RAM, be sure to maintain a FIRM grip on your socks, because 1 gig will blow you away. :p

[Rbstr]

yeah i lost my best pair to it

[DemiInuyoukai]

i lost 5 seperate pair of my socks to 1 gig

[Electrofreak]

n00b. I only lost one, because I quickly grabbed my other sock with my 1337 n1nj4 reflexes before it was blown off as well. HAH. I pwn you.

::Walks off wearing one sock::
