Question four dimms or two, same performance.

[raknarius]

im about to build a new system with 32gb of ram, was wondering if i would get better beformance with 4 x 8, or 2x16.

while im at it, for a gaming rig, do you think 32gb is enough for several years to come or should i get 64.

Just for gaming? 16GB probably enough. but if you have the $ to spend, get 2x16GB
by the time you need 64GB, you need a new system

 

[raknarius]

and the 2x16 or 4x8 question

 

[rgd1101]

read the 1st sentence

 

[raknarius]

do you say that because it performs better then a four stick option? details?

 

[bignastyid]

It depends on the platform. You have given insufficient information to give a performance estimate.

Better to have 2x8gb sticks than 4x4gb sticks in most cases
