Windows 7 64bit runs perfectly fine on 2Gigs 16 isnt needed but ram is cheap so why not. 8gigs runs great but mix slow ram with fast u will only be able to run at slow ram speed

As far as your RAM if you mix ram it will clock to slower ram speeds. Nature of the beast, just runt the 1600. you don't need 16GB of ram, I think?!?!?!? I don't at least!!!![/QUOTE]

Was that directed at me?

I've decided to go with 8gigs of the 1600. Its ripjaws X. I'm gonna try and push up towards 1866 or higher if I can. I saw a couple of reviews that made it to 2133.

Cool. So it can be done. :rockout:

Or you could just buy 1866 sticks and see what it takes to get them to boot at that.

I'm kindof going for price here. Ripjaws X are 29.99 right now.

And I already bought em. They should be here tomorrow or the next day.

Hey guys, a quick question - will my athlon II 640 work with 1600MHz memory? I mean, will the memory run at 1600 speeds rather than athlon's prefered 1333 at stock cpu clocks? Or will I have to overclock the cpu to read those memory speeds? The ram kit is Corsair vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.50V ver 2.12

Noone can really give you a y/n answer to that. Its overclocking the IMC and every chip is different.

As Jr said, it depends on your hardware setup. However, I detect that you have a question about memory dividers?
