got a question too there out of stock for the 2 4gb sticks butthey have 8gb single stick ram should I get that

computer always run far better off a 2x4GB setup rather than a 1x8GB setup, there will be a drop in performance if you get the 8GB stick but it wont be massive.

 

[Billy_13]

well I got the 1x8 8gb cuz no one replyed looks like ill use that until I can get another 8 an just run 16gb then ill never have to worry bout it. I will be live streaming to so wont 16 work better then 8

Sorry about the long replies I have been out of town on business but if you got the 8Gb stick that's fine and as you said get another 8GB when money allows and you will be fine

will the motherboard support the 1x8 gb ram stick

 

[Hawkshot]

will the motherboard support the 1x8 gb ram stick

what motherboard you never said what build you were going for ?

 

[Billy_13]

I went for his but u listed the same mother board.

 

[Billy_13]

alwayswill that motherboard support 16gbs of ram

 

[Hawkshot]

Yes that board can support up to 32GB of DDR3 as long as the Mhz doesn't exceed 1600Mhz so it can take 8x4GB if you really wanted that much

 

[Billy_13]

so should I run 4x4 3x4 or 2x8 cuz I have the money. an the 8gb one I bought is 1600mhz

 

[Hawkshot]

run 2x8GB Generally speaking motherboards work far better with a dual setup rather than any alternative 4x4GB is also viable but I would defiantly say get 2x8GB over 4x4GB

 

[Billy_13]

ok ill have to do that then thank you

 

[Hawkshot]

ok ill have to do that then thank you

no problem, sorry I couldn't of helped sooner

 

[Billy_13]

[Billy_13]

Nope I use windows 10 Home edition on my computer because I don't need any of the functionality that pro provides most people just use the Home edition.

doi use 64 bit an I see ones that say oem what that

 

[Hawkshot]

oh you will need 64Bit as your system is over 2GB of ram if you have a 32bit system the OS wont use anything more than 2GB as you will be going for 16GB of Ram in the end 64bit is needed and an OEM version of windows means that when installed its tied to the motherboard rather than the HDD meaning that if you upgrade the Motherboard you will need to phone Microsoft to change which motherboard that licence is registered to and they do have the right to refuse to do that.

don't worry about getting an OEM version its pretty typical these days for place to only sell OEM, http://www.outletpc.com/hb4142-microsoft-windows-10-oem.html

 

[Billy_13]

so how do I go about putting it on a usb drive or I do have a old cd drive in a shitty dell computer cd drive any chance I can use that disc drive just to install it on my system then ether leave it or take it out. from what i remember u could just hook up any cd drive an it would work.

Yeah Cd drivers are generic connections so you will be able to reuse this in any system that you build without a problem, just use your old CD drive and install it with your CD
