Hello everyone,
I am looking into upgrading the memory on my motherboard to 32GB as the 12GB Patroit memory I have is proving insufficient for heavy 3D and motion graphics work.
I have P6TD motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6TD_Deluxe/
I am running a i7-920 processor.
The memory modules I am looking at:
--------------------
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL
DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
Timing 9-9-9-24
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V
+
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9Q-32GXM
Cas Latency: 9
Voltage: 1.5V
Multi-channel Kit: Dual Channel Kit
Timing: 9-9-9
Model #: F3-1600C9Q-32GXM
+
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM
Cas Latency: 9
Voltage: 1.5V
Multi-channel Kit: Dual Channel Kit
Timing: 9-9-9-24
Model #: F3-1600C9D-16GXM
Item #: N82E16820231568
Return Policy: Standard Return Policy
----------------
I am not sure which of these to get. I know I want a minimum of 8GB per memory module which would give me a theoretical amount of 48GB total. I am considering buying the 32GB set with the possibility of getting another 16GB if I need it.
The computer shop salesperson advised me that I should just buy a new motherboard and a new processor and then purchase more modern memory that way. I'm fairly happy with the performance of this machine and see no need to upgrade - the lack of memory is the only bottleneck. I would also like to go beyond the stated maximum of 24GB according to the manual.
Any advice on how best to proceed would be appreciated.
Thanks.
