Ram Speed/Tech Support help???

[michaeladair]

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.

It shouldn't affect anything that drastically unless you're trying to do something intensive, before jumping to conclusions and wasting money it's a good idea to test it, I've always found it's graphics cards and processors that make the biggest difference in performance, having good RAM never hurts though.

Alright, thanks.

RAM is mostly important if you plan on having multiple applications open at once.

That doesnt really tell me if it's the speed or the amount, I will have 32gb... but 1600.

Thank you, I feel better now!

Another question, I got a Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive,
someone told me it wouldn't be that fast because it was a whole Terabyte.

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

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.

No, the whole point of them is that they are faster.

I know having two different brands of RAM can cause big problems, so at least you have 2x the same brand.

Okay, well my friend is sticking to the story so I guess we will find out, thanks!

Sticking to his story based on what? Facts or opinions? 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.
