My computer has 4GB of DDR3 1866 RAM I got a 16GB stick of 1600Mhz

Timings matter just as much if not more than clock speed.

>>57003259
Precisely 266 Mhz.

Literally nothing

Neglible.

>>57003259
16GB DDR3 sticks only exist as server ram so you can't use it.

>>57003259
> stupid pun.jpg

Also both sticks are the same brand, Crucial Ballistix

The old one had:
DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
Timing 9-9-9-27
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V

The new one says:
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 8-8-8-24
Cas Latency 8
Voltage 1.5V

what if his computer is a server?

you'll be better off

Install it and see if you notice a difference with your workload.

>>57003357
My mistake.

I misread the order. It's two sticks of 8. I thought my brother said literally a 16 GB stick of RAM.

>>57003397
16GB of ram is better. You might lose a bit of FPS in certain games.

>>57003420
Will it be that noticeable of a difference?

>>57003259
Honestly? You'll probably never even notice anon, don't let these people meme you

>>57003259
If it is indeed two sticks, then you will be running as dual channel which has shown measurable ~2 fps gains. 266 MHz difference is basically meaningless.

>>57003574
Oh? That's cool. Thanks!

Also thank everyone else too.

Is 32 gig of ddr3 good or not

>>57003538
You'll notice the extra 12 gigs of RAM a lot more

>>57003374
You will notice nothing except more ram

if you use an SSD, I will be shocked if you notice

If you don't, then shit should go way faster because you aren't waiting on the page file - probably ever

wtf where are you getting this information?

>>57003259
Is the red one a meme?

That's DDR4 not DDR3 retard

there are 16GB sticks of ddr3 that some server-grade atoms can use with no ecc, same with broadwells, i think

but you're an imbecile, still

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7742/im-intelligent-memory-to-release-16gb-unregistered-ddr3-modules

support is very limited, though

>>57009336
Nice splicing moran

>>57009720
A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. The aforementioned post however consists of only one clause ("That's DDR4, not DDR3"), with an affixed parenthetical element ("retard").

>>57009336
you'r'e wrong.

>>57004257
Completely unnecessary for most people. But hey, you could dedicate 16gb of it to active ram caching and have your computer run slick as shit down an Indians ass. That is assuming you have quad channel memory. Don't know how well that would work on dual channel.

>>57009352
My x79 motherboard supports 16gb dimms with the latest bios and I don't think it even supports ecc memory. At least I haven't seen an option for it in bios. Could be automatic.

>gaming with only 4GB
>lmfao senpai, you'll never notice fixing such a major bottle neck

Unless he plays year old 2d strollers and retro 3d games all day, he will notice desu senpai
