Question about RAMu

[kleisinger]

I have a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R motherboard (supports triple channel ram)

I currently have a triple channel kit 3x2g 1333mHz

I've been offered a free dual channel kit of 2x4g 1333mHz

 

am I better off sticking to the triple channel kit at 6gb or going to dual channel kit of 8gb

 

(they are different brands and sizes so I assume going 2x4gb and 1x2gb is out of the question)

8GB by far.

The amount of RAM should always be prioritised.

"RAMu" i find this highly offensive that you want to RAMme.

Since it's free, try it out. Usually more ram is better but your processor is optimized for tri-channel, which a lot of people miss. If adding the ram drops it entirely off of tri-channel, it can make it run slower in daily use. BUt run a few benchmarks to see where you land. Clock how long it takes it from cold boot to web browser or how long it takes do a large-ish zip/unzip and so on.
