Various delays and signal rates in dual-channel setup
Various delays and signal rates in dual-channel setup
Hello! After two years using your current setup, you're thinking about upgrading to faster RAM while keeping dual-channel support. The issue is that your existing DDR4 8GB 2666MHz CL16 sticks only support 3000MHz, not the higher speeds you'd want for better performance. Running them in dual channel with different frequencies and latencies is possible, but it depends on your motherboard's capabilities and compatibility. Make sure your board supports dual-channel operation at those speeds before proceeding.
It should work, though it will operate at a reduced speed and higher latency.
Thank you for asking. "Memory capacity" refers to how much data storage a device has, often measured in gigabytes (GB). In your case, an 8GB memory means the device can hold up to 8 GB of information. It helps determine how many apps, files, or programs you can use without running out of space.
Yes. It refers to the overall RAM capacity your motherboard supports, which is typically measured in gigabytes. For example, with a 32GB motherboard and two slots, you can install either two 16GB modules or one 32GB module.
