Need new RAM. (24GB)

[EllieTheFuzzy]

Well my RAM is failing kind of badly now, (i have a very bad jinx with computers) and i'd really like to get some replacement ram before i have to use ram from the htpc

 

Anyhow.

 

the one im hardcore desiring is a 4x6GB 24GB Kit, and i know "YOU DONT NEED MORE THAN 8GB RAM" "16 is a little overkill" but i kinda really want to have 24GB opposed to 16GB for number aesthetics case (4 is a rad number for me and im a gemini so 2, 2 and 4, 24 :3) + it'd be handy if i have a megaton of stuff up and i like to have a bit of a roof so im not worrying?.

 

 

anyhow :3 my budget for new ram would probably be about 120 odd gbp, maybe a bit more, though if it does exist i'd IDEALLY want some geil dragon ram, 6gb :3 cause i just love freaking dragons.

 

OH I FORGOT:

 

3D Rendering

Photoshop/Illustrator/Flash

Gaming

Streaming

 

quad channel

I'm pretty sure they don't sell 6GB dimms, you would have to do 3x8GB dimms.

Yep 3x8gb is what I was thinking. Also make sure that your OS supports more than 16gb of ram as there was a case of some guy who got 24gb of ram and it recognised it all but said only 16gb was usable, Many many posts and many google searches later it ended up being that he has windows 7 home premium I think so check if ur OS supports it

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit im sure supports a ton of RAM so no worries there.

I meant to say it'S 2 DDR3 3gb sticks.

To be exact, it supports 192GB.

[OpticFusion]

You should get 2x8 for now and save up for another 2x8.

24 is a weird number. I would always go 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128.....

for 120 pounds you're not going to be getting 24gb of ram methinks.

 

16, maybe, but not 24gb or 32gb

[-rascal-]

You won't find RAM modules in "weird" density quantities.

Computers use binary count (2^x).

I.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, etc.

These numbers seems familiar?

You'll find RAM modules in 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB densitites, but you most likely won't find it in 6GB forms -- unless you use odd-number of RAM sticks.

I.e.

3 X 2GB = 6GB

3 X 4GB = 12GB

3 X 8GB = 24GB

Chances of finding a 4 X 6GB kit is going to be slim -- next to none.

is it possible i could do 8GB 4GB 4GB 8GB?? :< i do run quad channel and that might help? if it's the same brand ram of course?

I can guarantee you your computer doesn't care about your astrological signs, or your favorite numbers. Get a 2x8gb or matching 4x8gb kit. They're going to be the most economical and cause you the least amount of headaches.
