Educate me please.
I'm getting 16 GB of RAM. Two 8 GB sticks. The sticks I have chose come in two forms for same price.
1. Single-Rank. 1Rx8. Based on eight 1G chips per module.
2. Dual-Rank. 2Rx8. Based on sixteen 512M chips per module.
Which is best?

just buy 2 sticks of ram that's compatible with your mobo like a normal person
The ranks cannot be accessed simultaneously as they share the same data path.
so single rank?

This is /g/
>>59592412
no
buy in pairs of 2 for dual channel.
>>59592463
Rank. Not channel.

Do you even realize how stupid you are? Or is your stupidity too great for you to be able to tell? Either way, I'm sorry for your condition.

Single rank is faster and easier to access, but the difference isn't enough to justify spending notably more.
