[@BunniMonster]

StuntMan Reggie First I tried downloading the new RAM wirelessly, a rookie mistake I admit (Kinda stupid when you think about it). I later plugged in an Ethernet cable and started the download again but my cable wasn't wide enough and the RAM has gotten stuck. Posting this from my phone. Help. How do I get it back out? I tried flushing DNS but it backed up against the clogged RAM and leaked into my PSU :'(

[@fivetwelve7928]

TheBunniMonster Try to make sure your processor didn't deactivate your SLI config. Sometimes my PSU leaks and automagically shuts off all my processors to save orange juice. Also make sure your graphics cards are in the right RAM slots, check your motherboards manual to figure which ones to use.

[@BunniMonster]

Michael John Instructions unclear: cock trapped in exhaust fan. As for your issue, try using pure orange juice with the bits in, if the OJ level gets too low, the PSU (Pure Squeezer Unit) will crush the bits down to top up your levels. Sadly, DNS (Do Not Squeeze) got flushed into mine, I think it's done for.

TheEvilVargon Well, its a lot different. And both the DDR slots and the PCI slots are connected directly to the cpu.

[@rivox1009]

TheEvilVargon They are designed for different purposes so putting ram in pci-e (with the proper connector) would probably result (if it was possible) in a slower perfomance or, even more probably, in just not working, and vice versa. It would probably be like putting diesel in a gas engine.

Hello: My PC currently has only one, 2GB DDR3 RAM card. Also, it only has 2 RAM slots. In order for me to expand its RAM, I will need to take out the 2GB RAM card and insert 2 brand new DDR3 RAM cards into the available slots. My question is. since I am replacing all the RAM, would it matter which type of DDR3 I buy and put in the PC? Do the other specifications such as Freq etc matter any longer ? What is the significance of 12800 vs 10600 vs 1333 ? My processor is an Intel i3 (Quad Core). Many Thanks, Jon

[@C-64]

Jon Volta , I have the same question

[@jublywubly]

In the past, I found various speeds of RAM just caused the overall RAM to run at the slowest speed sticks. However, when I tried to upgrade my 2 x 8GB sticks of Ripjaws RAM with another 2 x 8GB sticks of Ripjaws RAM sticks that are a slightly faster speed (other than that, all the specs are the same), I found they don't play nicely together. Rather than all the RAM just running at the slower speed of the older RAM, the all the RAM slowed to a snail's pace. It took about four times as long for my computer to boot and everything ran at about 1/4 of the normal speed, including loading web pages. I removed the new RAM and the computer still runs like normal. I still have to try the new RAM on it's own, to see if maybe that's the issue. I'll also try both pairs of RAM, on their own, in the other pairs of RAM slots on the mother board. If the faster RAM works, then I'll have to fork out a small fortune to buy yet another pair of the same faster RAM.

Hi. I recently ran into some problems which may be because of not enough ram... My computer starts to stutter at simple tasks and my memory usage idle is 60% or something like that. I was using 2x4gb but now I am upgrading to 2x8gb. I stopped on HyperX Fury because it was recommended by a friend and it's also more affordable than let's say corsair (at least in my country). Thanks for the video :))

4 years forward, yes, 32 gb is mainstream for RAM as Smartphones are getting 12Gb.

[@itpugil]

depends on how practical we are though, 16GB I have right now doesn't even go over 50% even though I have lots of tabs open and gaming at the same time

[@H-banGG]

@@itpugil I'm more than satisfied with 8 gigs.

[@melellington4892]

I doubt that 32GB will be mainstream anytime in the next 5-10 years, considering how expensive RAM is today. I just upgraded today, my 16 year old PC, to 8GB from 4GB, and have yet to notice any significant increase in speed as a result. However, upgrading the system disk to SSD at an equivalent cost to the additional memory, provides a much greater improvement in actual performance than the additional RAM. Consequently, it would not surprise me to learn that SSDs are having a very detrimental effect on new computer and memory sales. I doubt NVME and similar faster speed advancements will have the same effect on the market as SSDs, because those newer/faster technologies practically require a new motherboard. My 16 year old PC can take advantage of an SSD via its SATA interface but not so with NVME or similar advancements which don't have a standard SATA interface.

[@H-banGG]

@@melellington4892 Obviously, apps will require more RAM to run smoothly, so yes, in 5 to 10 years, we may see some 256Gb of RAM mainstreaming

[@JohnWideCock]

Can i put lets say 16gb of ram and keep the 8 too

[@tyrannicpuppy]

It aged very well. I'm sitting here in 2021 trying to decide if I should stick to the 32GB that comes with the Motherboard bundle I'm buying or splurge and get an extra set of the same sticks to go straight to 64GB and fill out all the slots on the board and be done with it.

you forgot 3 extra tips : 1) Motherboard specs that gives ram frequency limit 2) CPU specs : CPU specs can limit memory frequency single/dual (example from amd support : support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/ddr3memoryfrequencyguide.aspx) 3) OS Limitations : Some OS 32 bits or 64 bits limit how much ram the system can handle.

yes, the more ram the better

[@paddydoestech]

Not nessesarly as 8gb is the required standard for gaming however i see 16gb becoming more common, and between 8gb and 128gb, it wont make a difference much in games however for heavier workloads that are more demanding like rendering in premiere or using autocad, more ram (and cores) are better.

[@bradhaines3142]

ram is the short term memory for your pc, basically what its using right that second is in the ram, everything else is in storage (hard drive or solid state drive) so it depends what you do for how much you need. 8 gigs is standard and acceptable for the average user, 16 gigs for current gamers and 32 gigs for video editors and 'future proofing'
