More times then not I see people sacrifice
their memory to save money on their systems and with technologies coming out as fast as
they are, this is getting to be a big problem. There have been many
times where I have had to trouble shoot the latest dual channel
motherboards because of blue screening and unstable behavior and the
problem ends up being memory that was not intended to run on a dual
channel platform. In this article we will not only show the performance
difference in running ultra low latency memory against your every day
value ram, but we will also go in to why dual channel optimization and
low latency is important in today's computers. |
