    Just want to know some thing about memory... if I'll buy 2x2GB will it be better, than 4x1GB regards performance? I know, that it's called memory in SLI - so maybe straight 2 DIMMs SLI is better for performance?

    Thanks.

    i think 4X1Gb is better for performance :unsure:, but 2X2Gb is easier and cheaper to upgrade

    but SLI refers to multiple grx cards (2 or more, but usually 2, however things are advancing quickly, the latest i heard was a system with 3 or 4 grx cards)
    • SLI = NVidea
    • Crossfire = ATI

    hi mate if you had two 2GB's on dual channel that would be fast. However if your mobo doesnt have a dual channel capability i still think you'll find two 2Gb's quicker but either way the differance would be minimal.

    Hope this helps Dave :cool:
