1 GB or 512 MB x 2?
Will I get faster speed and/or performance from one 1 GB memory card or
two 512 MB memory cards? This is for a Toshiba Satellite M65 laptop. |

Would have thought that two 512Mb sticks are better than a 1Gb single
one....I would imagine they would run cooler as the heat is spread over a larger area. Whether any other benefit is gained remains to be seen..bear in mind the latency (CL) lower the figure faster they work. Davy |

Depends on devices used, though I don't think there's a bg difference in heat from one or two SO-DIMMs with equal capacity. There may be a difference, though not large in any case. Certainly the 1GB device will lower the loading on the bus. ...and that's a good thing. Everything else being equal, the larger device is *always* better. Whether any other benefit is gained remains to be seen..bear in mind the latency (CL) lower the figure faster they work. With a dual channel memory controller, there is a performance advantage in having two equal sized SO-DIMMs, one on each channel. Things aren't always equal. ;-) CL is overblown as a measure of DRAM performance and has nothing to do with one or two modules.Yer a wee bit late err, Davy.:-) -- Keith |
