hello
i have 2x1 gb ram of gskill cs9 latency and speed of 1333mhz.
my computer is damn slow so tried to upgrade and bought gskill 8x1 gb cs9 latency 1333mhz ram
i could not selll off the 2 gb because of some problem
so any idea they can work together to form 10gb total
i don't care about dual channel till it adversely affect my pc speed.
will it have more cons than pros?
will i benefit from the config
btw my mobo support 32 gb ram and dual channel also. processer is amd fx 8320 mobo is asus m5a78lm/usb3 and gpu is hd6670
thanks for your time

It's should work just fine, but if not, I doubt you'd miss the 2x1GB and run fine on just 8GB.

P.S. Watch the language.

You will be sacrificing dual channel mode, which increases RAM speed somewhat. So your 10GB RAM would in benchmarks run a little slower than the 2GB you have now.

HOWEVER, 2Gb is really low, cripplingly low! Your computer will be having to page huge amounts of data to your hard drive, which is 100s (1000s) of times slower than system memory. That'll be why your system is running so slowly.

Because of that, for just about every single scenario, 10GB single channel will make your system far and away more responsive than 2GB dual.

ok i will post here the result
so i will take that as pro
all i need is my system to be faster than it is now and to be able to run games like fc4 gta5(i know about my gpu it is not that good)
pps with due respect

thats the reality here in my country, anyway sorry

run the 8GB alone go to bios turn XMP on Done u dont need more than 8GB for games period

unless consoles use more than 8GB PCs wont use more than that unless we magically get a Fully optimized non port PC version of a game

I bolded something there, you bought EIGHT 1 gig sticks of RAM? 8*1 = eight times one is how you read that. Or one 8 gig stick? I would return the 8 gig stick, get two 4 gig sticks and then you can use the other two 1 gig sticks in the other RAM channel. If you got 8 1 gig sticks, you need to return them also since your motherboard only has 4 slots for RAM.

hello,i noticed in official site of gskill that my mobo was not listed for supporting this ram
will it be compatible ?
ram model is G.Skill NT DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC DRAM (F3-10600CL9S-8GBNT)
and mobo is :asus m5a78lm/usb3

You have your numbers reversed then, 2x1 gb to me reads like you have two sticks of 1 gb RAM, same for the 8x1.

You can run them together but you will likely get better speed with just using the single 8 gig stick, then at some point adding a second one to get dual channel going if you like.
