looks like i need some more, only on ddr2 still any suggestions on somewhere that does it cheapish ?ram
ram
I remember when 8 gb of ram was plenty.. would seem not anymore, just running chrome uses up 4.5gb and when my eldest lad has photoshop on as well its feeze-o-rama. looks like i need some more, only on ddr2 still any suggestions on somewhere that does it cheapish ?

Re: ram
Was going to say your rig must be super old if you're still on DDR2.
You'll need to double check what your motherboard can take in total and per slot and how many slots you have free.
You could try ebay and risk it otherwise ebuyer/scan.
I've got 12G and I am regularly using over 10G with just Chrome and a few other bits running.

Re: ram
yeah i think i can have up to 32gb in total, my eldest always has loads of pics up in chrome as reference and then does his artwork in cs6, it then freezes up after a bit. i thought i had a mem leak happening until i looked. defo more ram needed im afraid ££££££££££££££££

Re: ram
so i have 4 slots on the board, if i wack another 2x4gb in is that an idea or will i have to get exactly the same as the two that are in it already... gonna have to have a look inside.. been ages... i bet the dust inside will look like a giant blanket

Re: ram
- Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology
- 4 x DDR3 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR3 1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 32GB*
thats what is on my board, fecking expensive for ram still aint it...

Re: ram
Best if you get RAM with the same timings etc.
Some motherboards have selected slots that need to have the same RAM for the dual channel to work correctly. 4 sticks of different RAM will work slower than 4 identical sticks. But I think if you have 2 sets of different RAM it's largely fine as long as they are in the correct channels. Some motherboards will put the 2 next to one another, others will have them separated.

Re: ram
damn got lashed and missed the end of the auction for ram take a look at these, the only thing is it says my motherboard takes non-ecc
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16GB-Memory- ... 0033.m2042
the other thing was the amount of pins
- Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology
- 4 x DDR3 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR3 1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 32GB*
cant remeber having all these issues when i built it... or perhaps i was just lucky

Re: ram
Most RAM is non-ECC. ECC is extra checking to make sure that the data stored on the RAM is valid and what it should be and is used in top-end servers. If you see RAM and it doesn't mention ECC it's likely non-ECC. ECC tends to be a fair bit more expensive too.
