4 ram slots only 3 sticks12/21/2023 ![]() ![]() As long as there are multiple pathways in and out then this is more efficient. Of course assuming that multiple things are being processed at the same time so that one core can do certain things while another processes other thing. With CPUs it is obvious that to have multiple cores is faster than one big core. SO I guess a more accurate question is: If the PC is using (addressing) all 16gb at once, would it address (read/write) it faster if it is on 1 stick (one channel or bus) or would it address it faster if the ram is split up among 4 sticks (2 channels or multiple buses)? ![]() But if it is the latter then having more sticks will be faster since it will read/write to multiple sticks at the same time. If it is the former then, if the first stick is an 8gb stick then it doesn't matter. If you have 16gb and you use 8gb, how is it used? Does the PC use all the ram on the first stick until it runs out and then goes to the next stick in succession until reaching the end of available ram? Or does it use equal amounts from all sticks totaling 8gb? ![]() If you use 8gb and you have 16gb it won't make any difference.I guess that's what I'm asking. ![]()
