Stu Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 DDR can be single.. but matched pairs result in dual channel mode and better performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 caz ur maxed out at the minute,u need to change ur motherboard to run more ram,and while ur at it u may aswell get a new processor,it may be difficult to get a mobo and processor that will be compatable with ur current GFX card etc so u may need to change a fair few bits lol.Either keep ur current machine and put up with it or buy/build a new system thats a slightly higher spec. (u can get bits from ebay for uber cheap moneys) UR current mobo and processor are pretty low spec TBH, ive got a 6 year old machine that cost 800 quid when new and its better than what u have and isnt worth upgrading imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
