Is there any noticeable gaming difference between 2 sticks of memory at 1t or 4 sticks at 2t?

Question

i have 2 sticks of 512 right now and i want to get 2 more 512 stick for a total of 2gb. i understand my memory runs at 533 at 1t and if i go to 4 sticks it will still run at 533 because i have a amd socket am2 windsor x2 core, but it will be 2t. is 2t something to be worried about will i notice it?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You'll see a performance improvement, due to the fact that you have more RAM. If your motherboard supports it, an equal number of sticks (2 or 4) should run in dual channel mode, which also gives a small boost. In other words, it'll work fine.

No idea what this 2t thing is you mentioned. Never head of that with regards to RAM.
