Half The Ram 2/1 = 1 Double The Speed 400x2 = 800 1GB 800Mhz Perhaps you are thinking about dual channel mode? DDR2 RAM is not the same thing as dual channel DDR400.	Sweep (90)
617866	2007-12-05 03:50:00	No. 2GB is 2GB. 1GB is 1GB. Oh My God.... Read what I am saying. I am not saying 2gb of RAM is 1gb of RAM I am saying 2GB's of RAM at 400Mhz (PC3200) would run the same as 1GB of RAM at 800Mhz (PC6400) Performance wise	CaptainVincent (76)
617867	2007-12-05 05:57:00	Well guess i'll try it myself in a couple of days.	CaptainVincent (76)

I am not saying 2gb of RAM is 1gb of RAM I am saying 2GB's of RAM at 400Mhz (PC3200) would run the same as 1GB of RAM at 800Mhz (PC6400) Performance wise That is incorrect. Higher speed ram doesn't equal twice the performance.	LiquidSolidity (1589)
617869	2007-12-05 08:37:00	Isn't that exactly what it mean? 1GB Of DDR 800Mhz will perform exactly as 2GB DDR 400Mhz. I've tested it severals times before and every RAM test on every benchmark gets exactly the same score between the two. Same with 1GB Of DDR 133Mhz It performs EXACTLY how 266Mhz does. Standard name Memory clock Cycle time I/O Bus clock Data transfers per second Module name Peak transfer rate DDR-200 100 MHz 10 ns 100 MHz 200 Million PC-1600 1600 MB/s DDR-266 133 MHz 7.5 ns 133 MHz 266 Million PC-2100 2100 MB/s DDR-333 166 MHz 6 ns 166 MHz 333 Million PC-2700 2667 MB/s DDR-400 200 MHz 5 ns 200 MHz 400 Million PC-3200 3200 MB/s Notice DDR 200 And DDR 400 DDR 200 transfer rate is 1600 MB/s DDR 400 transfer rate is 3200 MB/s Making it double as fast, Please explain to me if i'm not fully understanding this correctly though.

In theory what you are saying is perhaps correct. But in practical terms if you had, for example, a machine running Crysis with 2gig of DDR400, and a similar machine running 1gig of DDR800, the 2gig DDR400 machine would perform better -especially in loading times. Windows Vista would also perform better with 2 gigs of DDR400 versus 1gig of DDR800. I'm probably not explaining myself very well here though :)	LiquidSolidity (1589)

I ran it on an early Intel dual core (820?) and a 7900GT and had a lot of the eye candy turned off just to make it playable.	Deane F (8204)
617872	2007-12-05 09:53:00	Ahhh I See!! So really, Yes DDR400 2GB & DDR800 1GB speedwise USUALLY perform the same. But DDR400 2GB can potentially perform better than DDR800 1GB since there is more available resource wise! Thank you!	CaptainVincent (76)
