RAM Upgrading - MHz confusion
Just now, VirtualEagle said:So in general terms, the RAM speed I need to match (with a new ram) in order to have dual channel working is the 2400Mhz? Right?
I got a little confused with the 3 replies, but thank you all... : )
Often you should buy the SAME RAM, you could try mixing but is not recommended for someone who is new to this.
As you might have to deal with more detailed issues, but if the same MHz and GB it's going to be at least more likely to work?
Just now, VirtualEagle said:Basically what I undestood is that, because thanks to the DDR, the raw speed, 1200MHz (what CPU-Z reports) is doubled, and that I actually have to buy a 2400MHz to get dual channel working.
Yes and no, if they have the same speed it's not 100% they are going to match as there are more details to it.
But you are right in that it would likely be 2400 you are dealing with, and if you got the package it should state on that too.
or if the RAM got a sticker on it that says what it is.
So in short you are correct about the speed for said MHz, if you got 1200 and its 2400.
