Title: Ram Speed/Tech Support help??? Post by: michaeladair on March 10, 2015, 11:07:49 PM I just found out that I bought 4x8 GB of RAM with a speed of 1600.
Then I noticed that my motherboard can have up to 3000, what should I do? Will it be a lot slower with 1600? It will mainly be a computer for just a few games and whatnot, maybe a small FTP server.

Alright, thanks. RAM is mostly important if you plan on having multiple applications open at once. Title: Re: Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

someone told me it wouldn't be that fast because it was a whole Terabyte. Is that true? Title: Re: Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

Is that true? I've not heard that before and from my understanding it should have the same speed whether it's capacity 10GB to 10TB on an SSD Title: Re: Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

Is that true? I don''t believe so. An SSD is basically a giant RAM stick - shouldn't matter how large it is. I haven't heard of any memory management issues that require a location above xxxGB to require additional processing. Title: Re: Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

Is that true? No, the whole point of them is that they are faster. Title: Re: Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

I know having two different brands of RAM can cause big problems, so at least you have 2x the same brand. Title: Re: Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

Ask him to back up why he think this way and ask for sources. I've never heard of ssd's being slower the bigger they are either. |
