I dont know much about ram, but I have Gskill Ripjaws (ddr3-1600 cl9-9-9-24) in my system right now 4sticks at 4gigs a piece. I came up on a brand new set of Ballistix Sports 2 sticks at 8gigs a piece (ddr 3-1600 cl9) now witch set up would be better to run? or are they both basically the same?

I quite literally interpreted the title as Dodge RAM: Dualie or 4x4...... My brain isn't functioning right today, I was a little disappointed I will admit though. :laugh:

I have 4x8GB and I found that my overclock is less stable and I probably can't get 5Ghz if I wanted now because of it.

Using 2x8GB will also leave you with room to expand.

I would choose 2x8GB.

oh, and Dualie all the way. Love the Cummins engine too. :toast:

Is corsair not the best ram around anymore?? god damnit! as soon as i jump on the trend seems to fade ¬.¬

I don't overclock but for just plain working out of the box, I've had the best luck with Kingston.
