Wanderlust Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've started to purchase components for a new system (Antec Solo case, Corsair VX450W). I'll be running 4GB of memory using a P35 motherboard and a Core 2 6750 that I'll moderately overclock. I'm building this system exclusively for photography (i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom). What technical differences, if any, are there between two 2GB Corsair DDR2-800 sticks and four equivalent 1GB sticks? I vaguely remember a Tom's Hardware article that said that 2GB sticks would consume less power, but don't remember why (denser semiconductor process for the individual memory chips?). But I also recall reading that using the 2GB sticks would reduce overclocking potential. Bottom line: Which Corsair product would you recommend for my application and why is it the best solution for my needs? Thanks in advance for your advice, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 24, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 24, 2007 I would suggest Twin2x4096-6400C5DHX if you want 4 Gig of memory for best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
