I just bought another 16gb of RAM and ever since I installed it my computer takes about an extra second or two to boot up. Now, that might not seem like a big deal, but I'm running my OS from a Samsung 840 Pro and I'm used to like 10 second boot times, which means I'm now getting around 20% less performance.
I have 8gb (2x4) of G.Skill Ripjaws running in slots 1 and 2 and 16gb (2x8) of Crucial Ballistix Sport in 3 and 4. Both sets have the same speed, latency, voltage, etc (1600, 9, 1.5). Now, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit which can only utilize 16gb of RAM, but I doubt that's the issue since it's also slower when I only used the Crucial. I tried switching slots and everything and it's always faster when I only use G.Skill. Is my RAM bad or is it common for different types of RAM to cause this type of variance in boot time?
(If you're wondering why I bought another 16gb or RAM with this OS, I plan on upgrading to Windows 8 soon.)
