Here is my Question i have a older tripple channel board with 6 Pc of 1333 memory. If i get a newer board and take 4 of the memory will it work in a newer board. then the same question if i take or buy double channel memory can it work in the triple channel board. When you break it all down to single pieces the end of the day.
doesn't it just matter that all the memory be the same speed and clock settings. Does the memory really care if it was sold in lots of 6 or 4 ? I would like to put 32 GB in my triple channel board. But all memory today is sold in lots of 4 for the double channel. So i can buy 2 lots of 4 pieces and then just use the 6 pieces instead of all 8 and it should still work ?
Tripple channel VS double channel why did they go backwards. I thought they would have stayed with triple channel instead of going backwards to double channel. I have the Rampage Extreme board the newer one today only has 4 memory slots.
Update:
Thanks for your answers ! I had a suspicion there wasn't much difference. It's just the way they match and sell them. Soon as i searched for triple channel memory sets i started finding them. I hadn't seen any until i specifically search for them. funny thing is the quad sets are cheaper so i might buy 2 quad sets and use the extras in another computer. Now i just found a Toms Article on do i really need this much memory. I have 12GB of 1600 and 24GB of 1333 i may just stick with the 1333 24 i didnt see a difference in going from 1600 to the 1333 . I assume im not going to see a difference in 12GB to24 or even 32 GB currently no games or programs really need that much memory. Might be better off saving the money and getting newer video card or run another ATI 5800 in crossfire.
