Ram - 2 x 2Gb Packs ?

[Bobster]

How about getting something like this for scratch (with either 2 or 4gb of DDR in it) and running 4x1gb main system memory?

thats very slow when compaired to main memory speeds

I admit, it is, but with current limitations on boards (and sometimes OS) its still gunna be a lot quicker than limited size memory & traditional hard disk...

Was jus a suggestion, anyhow.

Another FYI I have noticed Newegg currently have listed reasonably priced 2 x 2gb kits by G.Skill and Geil. At higher speeds than the Crucial modules as well. Whether you can get them over here yet though I don't know.

might have a gander - get my brother to send them over

hmmm 235.00 thats pretty damn good..

now @ 189.00ish

any updates on this, i see that RAM has dropped in price..

I'll prod Purchasing with a pointy stick to see about getting some of these.

RARRRR! just been looking on SCAN and you've started doing 2x2GB sets!!! WP, soon as Bridgestone pay me some mulla i'll be purchasing some of that!!

They've started to filter through now so we should hopefully start seeing more packs arrive.

Sorry to hijack this thread but is there such a thing as having too much RAM in a PC. I was thinking about putting 4GB into my PC running XP then Vista in the future but we had problems at work once putting 4GB into a server as some program didn't like that much RAM.

There's also such as thing as not understanding a problem.

The reason you had problems with 4GB is down to 32Bit architecture, not Microsoft, not bad programming, not too much RAM. It's a simple physical limitation of running a 32bit OS. Once you move over to 64bit all will work fine.

You didn't ask a question, you made a snotty statement

Yes I did ask a question if you read my first post and I don't really appreciate replies like that. If you can't reply without being an idiot then don't reply at all. It was a simple question which didn't need a wisecrack reply. Anyway lets just call it quits on this.
