I have 2 x 4 GB GSkill 1866MHz CL8 DDR3 and 2 x 8GB Corsair 1600MHz CL11 DDR3 memory modules. I bought the corsair ones when I built my machine:
i7 4770K
ASUS GTX 770
MSI MPOWER MAX.
and realized that the memory modules I bought are kind of slow (CL11 @ 1600MHz). So I bought two extra 4GB modules 1866MHz CL8 GSkill ones.
I am now running on the GSkill modules, and those corsair ones are sitting on the shelf--kind of a waste. I have been trying to get rid of them but it doesnt look like that I can get a good deal selling them back to manufacturers (by the way if you know great ways to sell those, please tell me! Thank you!). So I am wondering if I can use those two for RAMDisk.
8GB of memory is probably not enough for RAMDisk with modern games, but 8+16 should definitely be enough, but since they have different operating speed, that might create problem. So my question is: is doing that feasible? And will I get performance that sits between if I were to use those two sets individually?
I have heard that you can unlink memories and have different operating frequencies for different channels. So is this a good idea?
I have MSI motherboard and it comes with RAMDisk unlimited, so thats not an issue.
