FSB, Latency, Dram Timing Etc are all pertinent information which can be found if you give us your MOBO model
give us some more info   |
I thought my question was pretty simple. I don't why all that is necessary. Assuming all the sticks are the same( ie PC3200 ) and the latency and other factors are the same, either one stick of 1 Gb RAM, two sticks of 512MB or 4 stick of 256MB all perform the same or not.
Just currious because not being an expert I was wondering if say my computer is using 800 MB of memory it seems it be more efficient for it to get all that RAM from one stick than have to get it from 4. I could be off base, which is why I was asking.
