which is best 2*2gb or 1*4gb

which is better to include 2*2gb or 1*4gb?

1*4gb will allow you to add more ram in future.

Explain further. If you are talking about system RAM, 2*2GB is faster assuming a dual channel memory configuration. If you are talking about GPU VRAM, that will depend on the cards. But 2*2Gb of VRAM is behaves the same as having 1*2Gb, as each GPU has the same data in them so they can each generate their own frames, but 2 of the same card has twice the raw processing power.

I mean system RAM

1*4gb will allow you to add more ram in future.

I dont need to worry about RAM ports as I have six in total

In most systems, 2*2GB is faster, as they are designed to have paired memory, and gain twice the bandwidth when they are paired. My system prefers memory in groups of 3, so I bought 3*2GB way back when I put it together. Consult your motherboards manual for the ideal setup, but I'm betting it works best in dual memory mode. Though, for gaming purposes, it often won't have major performance losses in single channel mode, but it isn't ideal.

Oh, and btw, you are in the Graphics card section. This should have been posted in the CPU section if you are talking about system RAM.

So is 2*2GB better than 1*4GB System memory RAM.......

sorry I didnt put the tag as graphics it was automatically done......

So........Pls tell is 2*2GB RAM better than 1*4GB RAM

You have to consult your motherboard manual, or at least list the motherboard so we can look it up. We can only guess that your system prefers dual channel memory, but we cannot know without more information.

And the reason it put it in the graphics section, is because you are in the graphics section. You'd need to go to the CPU or system section to post there.
