Shock Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Hello, In a few hours i will be purchasing a LANPARTY PRO875B for my intel pentium 4 2.53. Currently i have 2x 256 ram PC2100 and i would like to know if it is worth me upgrading to PC3200 ram, and if so would it be worth buying two sticks of 512 or 1 stick of 1g ram. Will buying it in 2 slots instead of one effect the performance of the system, i am aware that whatever ram i buy needs to be of good quality. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
los skin Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 PC3200ram 2x512 in dual channel mode is great preformance over the slow pc2100. Also 1 gig or ram is way better as games right now, need 1gig to run smoothly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoryman Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Having a pair so you can enable dual channel will double your memory bandwidth and match the bandwidth of your FSB. This stops the memory bus from being a bottleneck and is one of the main reaons for using a dual channel 400 memory bus with a 800MHz FSB P4.
