Rifts Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hey! Is it bad/wrong/harmful to run an odd amount of ram? Not sticks just ram? for example can I do this: 3 sticks are 1 gig each = 3 gigs ram 1 stick of 4gig = 4 gigs total being 7 gigs in 4 sticks?

gizmola Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Unless the mobo requires paired sticks, it doesn't matter. My caveats being: if this is a 32 bit machine/ os, there's no point in having more than 4 gigs since they can't be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Also note, typically all the ram will be bumped down to the slowest stick (lowest common denominator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
