optikalillusi0n Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hello all, I'm writing since I am utterly confused about what memory I should get and how much. I'm currently running XP 32 bit, but I'm upgrading to Vista Ultimate 64 bit in the next few days. The mobo maxes out at 8 gigs. I currently have 2 gigabytes of GSKILL memory in my pc, with a E6750 Core 2 DUO cpu. I'd like to upgrade, for performance, since I'm always actively using Adobe Web Design Premium, with Photoshop. cs4. Also, I'd like to upgrade my memory for the new Vista 64 bit OS. I'm confused about how dual-channel works. Would it work, if I had 1 pair of 2 gig modules =, and another pair of 1 gig modules correclty aligned in the mobo setup? Dual-Channel support has always eluded me. If they all have to be the same size, what about, 4 modules of 2 gigs ? Not sure what product to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Why not wait 2 months till Windows 7 is available? Memory Basics Presentation - This will explain dual channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optikalillusi0n Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 That's the reason I'm buying Vista, for their new promotion, for a free upgrade to windows 7 if you purchase within a specified time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optikalillusi0n Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Web Design, Photo-editing with Photshop and Adobe Web Premium Suite software. And other graphic programs as well. I game a little bit, but not too much. I want to have enough RAM for the new Windows 7, for it to run smoothly, and my apps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
