I am a little bit confused about RAM and its types: First Question: From the list below, which one is better? I want to run Intel core 2 duo processor: DDR PC2100/266 DDR PC2700/333 DDR PC3200/400 DDR PC3500/433 DDR PC3700/466 DDR PC4000/500 DDR PC4300/533 DDR ECC/REG DDR2 RDRAM/RAMBUS SDR SDR ECC/REG SODIMM Second Question: What is Hyper x? Some Kingston Ram chips come with the specification "hyper x" and are a little bit more expensive. Third Question: Is 2 x 512 better than 1 x 1024, or the opposite?
i might be wrong but i thought Core 2 Duo motherbards only supported DDR2? in which case DDR2 PC8500/1066 is the fastest, but DDR2 PC6400/800 can run at lower latencies. 2 x 512 in dual channel will run faster than 1 x 1024
You are correct tailschao. The motherboards for intel core 2 duo's only support ddr2. @ hodab, hepyer x is the same thing as corsair's XMS series. Simply better quality.
