Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 16GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Four Module Kit

[northernpcgeek]

just bought some "Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 16GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Four Module Kit" for £50 from amazon when it was on offer (now £60+) for a new pc build. to make use of all this memory will i have to install the 64 bit version of Windows? i have windows 7. i read somewhere that windows only uses i think 4GB, i assume this is 32 bit version.

Yes.

Yeah if you wanna go over 4gb you need a 64 based OS.

With 32 bit doesn't even give you full access to the 4gb ram if I remember it comes up at 3. Something

Go with 64bit, i have and am always using my 16gb to the max..

souper, not sure if you checked, but you have posted on a year old thread.

[souper]

Sorry about that, didn't know there was a time-limit...

As you can see from my (souper's system) I have now upgraded my OS to win 10, thankyou everyone for your replies !!

I have one stick of this RAM Corsair XMS-PC3200C2 v4.1 and Im wondering if I should just buy another stick of it for my A64 3200 90nm. How does this RAM compete against the likes of the PC3200XL lineup? Should I make an upgrade or buy another stick of this RAM?
