I had an issue recently with an old server which could handle 2 DIMMS of faster memory fine, but couldn't cope with 4 of the same. -- Be seeing you, http://www.glendale.org.uk Sam.Mail/IM (Jabber): s...@glendale.org.uk -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
[Hampshire] [OT] memory sticks
What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of two pairs of sticks given that they both cost the same? Basically, why one might prefer: CT2KIT12864AA667 • DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 128Meg x 64 to: CT2KIT12864AA800 • DDR2 PC2-6400 • CL=6 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 1.8V • 128Meg x 64 or vice versa. http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=K8M890M2MB-RS2Hpl=FOXCONNcat=RAM (the first two pairs of sticks) The processor is an AMD Athlon 64 3500+.

Second one is a tad faster, not that you are likely to notice any difference at all.
