Just got my new RAM today!

Holy ****, nice.

...care to spare a poor man 512 megs of RAM? 

 

[VALARLIGHT]

You delicious bastard.

 

[Rabid Potatoe]

Won't it now be bottlenecked by the processor though?

 

[Tralfaz]

It might be, but meh, I GOT 3 GIGS! LOL! To be honest, only 2GB are 3200, the other gig is my 2700 Ive had for awhile.  That gets upgraded next, because its fairly cheap, then a new processor, maybe a 4200, I dont know yet.  Also, its CAS 3, which isnt great, but not too bad.  Wouldve MUCH preffered CAS2, but dont have that much to spare for it.  Was tight getting this.

You still have a long way until you catch up to me.

That's nothing to my:

It would be more impressive if you couldn't see the parts where the colours are wrong.

 

[An4Sh]

Mine has only one bad part at the 18000-something.

And the 3 and under 'registered' and the 640...processor and the 2 next to GB and the RAM. That's all, though.

In that case, won't all the RAM run at 2700?? I may just be backward, but I didn't think it was yet possible to run RAM at different frequencies on the same board simultaneously. The two 3200 sticks are probably running at 2700 to allow for the 2700 stick.

Yes they will, but Its just a holdover till I get a gig of 3200 to replace them.  3GB of 2700 > 1GB of 2700, no?  I also need to run a test that I forgot to do(3DMark05), so I can see the difference in the way it is now, and with just the 2 gigs of 3200.

 

[jeansberg]

3GB of 2700 > 1GB of 2700, no?

Yeah but not necessarily > 2GB of 3200. But as you said it's just a holdover. Would be interesting to see the benchmarks of different combinations, though.

 

[Tralfaz]

Ill post 'em when I got 'em, maybe later today.

I didn't even touch the registered, can't see anything to the 640 and the 2 next to the gb is PERFECT that I can assure you.

 

[James]

Well, perhaps our computer screens are different. Probably if you took it into paint or whatever, you could find the different values for the colours.

Ok, did those 3GB@2700 vs 2GB@3200 today.  Ran PCMark05. had started Windows, all background programs running(standar for my games), no windows open, andit turns out theres no significant dfifference.  It was only 6 points.
