cpus456 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 was wondering if you can asnwer two questions please. i currently own the following; AMD 64 4000 Abit k8n sli mobo 1 Gb (2x 512mb twinx1024 3200xl) memory 2 xfx 6600 gt 1st> My mother board supports dual channel (as you can see above) and i want to add another set of memory chip to have a total of 2gb of ram So right now my ram is running ay 2.2.2.5 and i wanted to add a pair of CMX512 3200pro w/ leds, but they are 2.3.3.6, im guessing that the loss in latency is a good trade off concidering that i getting an extra gb of ram right? , or would it be best that spennd the extra money and get some 2.2.2.5 ram. i really like corsair but cant afford or find the exact same ram. 2nd> is 2 x CMX512-3200pro and twinx1024-3200c2pro the same, What i want to know is, will the 2 x cmx 512's run as daul channel ? And do you think this is a good idea, i want to be more than ready for vista, Please advise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 3, 2007 First thing, you cannot mix memory with this MB and or platform, the MB may not post if you do! I would suggest replacing the memory you have now with one set of Twinx2048-3200C2 set of modules for best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 You would do well to insert memory of the same timings and density for use with all 4 banks. Even then, it might not work as that board has been known to be wonky with 4 banks filled. You will very likely have to drop both ram speed 400 --> 33 and timings as well as the Command Rate to utilize four banks. I understand your desire to move from 1GB to 2GB. My advice? Sell the 2 X 512 and purchase 2 X 1GB. You will get a far better gaming experience from such a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
