jimsmith1962 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Would the TWINX1024-3200C2 non pro be the same memory but without the lights? If not is there such an animal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yes, and Yes. Keep in mind when running memory together the part #s (PRO doesn't count) and version #s should match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsmith1962 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Thanks, Would that be as much of a factor with dual channel? And what would I need to look at as far as the part numbers go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Mixing/matching is an even bigger factor when using dual-channel. You'd need to look at the part number (I.E. CMX1024-3200C2) and the revision (I.E. Rev 4.1) for the best compatibility. However, the easiest solution is to run a TwinX pack as they're already matched for you. Running pairs of pairs, on the other hand, isn't highly reccommended. For most systems, especially AMD 64 systems, 2 modules is the best number.

jimsmith1962 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Thanks, So its not a good idea going to 4x512s, but if I chosse to do it, would the next set of 2x512s need to be the same revision as the current set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 13, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 13, 2005 Unless you will over clock no there would not be. Can you tell us the make and model of MB you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsmith1962 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 I am wanting to overclock. I cureently have an Abit IC7-MAX3 and a Pentium 4 3.0 Prescott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 14, 2005 That CPU might over clock but from what I have seen they will normally top out between 225-255 Mhz depending on the specific core you have. I would suggest Twinx2048-3500LLPro as the first choice and Twinx2048-4000 as the second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
