1) If one has 4 slots for RAM and places just one 1 gig stick in one OR:

2) One places 4 - 256 sticks in the 4 slots....

Will there be any good or betterment doing it one way or the other.

I am asking about access time, shadowing, pipelining or does daisey-chaining effect happen here?

Sorry if I am using some old-fashioned terms here...this goes back to my old days of C>64 programming where these things were very important and could be detrimental to the whole system. :D


I have heard people claim that using 4 sticks causes a latency to be introduced, Personally I think ram access speeds are so fast that its a non-issue, Most probally show up as tiny hit on a synthetic benchmark and have no real world impact.

I could be wrong, But I have never seen anyone complain.
