If it was me I would go with the value 4gb option, and if performance is off just buy another one and pair them up if you have to.

final question

this:Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Laptop Memory Module CL9...

or this:Kingston 4GB DDR3 1066MHz Laptop Memory Module CL7...

the 1066 is the same spec as what's already in there, but won't the laptop just slow the 1333 cas 9 down to 1066 cas 7 if needed, and it's a bit cheaper as well

Depends on the bios, if it lets you configure the RAM settings it wont downclock other than that no real way to tell unless you google like a manual or something.

If it was me id dual channel 4gb of ram and get the 1333mhz sticks if your laptop will read them at that speed.

no bios settings at all on the laptop, you can change the clock and boot device order and that's about it

since i've pressed the buy button it's going to have 2+4 (6)GB of ram and it's going to be 1066mhz

main reason for this is because i ran a benchmark

my quad core PC gets 8.5GB/S, and it runs OK, it's only 3-4% below the dual channel set ups in actual CPU and program performance, so the bandwidth can't matter too much

the laptop currently gets 6.5GB/S, this can only increase if i put the other chunk in as it will go into flex memory mode

so overall, because of how good the memory controller is on the core I chips, i'm running it in 2GB+4GB, as it will certainly provide enough bandwidth for a dual core @2ghz from my research, and will give it a load of ram

and i can always spend £15 on another matching 4GB chip if i really need dual channel in the future

Whatever man seems like even though you asked you'd already made your mind up.

Far from it, actually

well what i wanted to know in the first place is would it work

and i also wanted to know a lot about how it would affect the speed of the ram but i ended up doing that part of the research myself

i still have 5 days to change or cancel the order though (ebuyer value postage)

so if any of you find any great deals on Ram...

the ram is currently in the basket because otherwise it may very well take me weeks to get it sorted out, this at least puts a time on it

EDIT:Ignore that, ebuyers 5 day delivery is going a bit faster then normal!

If i've done it wrong it's too late to change it now

Value postage isnt that slow even though they may estimate that time most things 3 days from ordering you will receive the item.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 20, 2011, 09:58 PM

well. the intel works on shared graphics. More allocated ram might mean better graphics.

I benchmarked my DM1 3x with 4Gb ram and 3x with 8Gb ram.

out of all the tests. I got a higher 3D06 score when i was just running with 4Gb but not by much though. we're talking like 20-30points difference.

when i benched with PCmark05 the results were the same, my DM1 performed better with only 4Gb.

the only reason why i keep 8Gb inside my laptop is because #1 AMD CCC allocates upto 4Gb to graphics when doing any gaming, and secondly. with the amount of tabs I usually have open in firefox. my general usage while surfin the net, and loading up a massive 50hr playlist in Windows Mediaplayer along with some HP utilities that i need and some background tasks running sees my ram usage top anywhere from 2.2Gb to 3Gb. 3Gb usage is rare though.

Unfortunately one of the downsides of a E-350 is it doesnt support dual channel. AMD chose to leave it out.

anyone know a decent 13' laptop sleeve which protects well and looks fairly good too?

Millennium · Sep 21, 2011, 11:02 AM

Does anyone know this guy: Doomedspeed

I bought something off him he said he posted it yesterday it hasn't arrived today. Not suggesting anything dodgy yet just after some feedback.

also I have PMed him already.

EDIT: Item arrived in 2 days, works fine, as described. So don't worry about dealing with this guy I reckon.

Fourstaff · Sep 21, 2011, 11:08 AM

Rice porridge for dinner yesterday, rice porridge for breakfast, now rice porridge for lunch. So much for forward planning
