Advice on getting new ram?
Currently have 6gb(3x2) ddr3 1600mhz triple channel.
I'm planning on getting 12gb or 16gb, whichever I can grab a good deal on. (upgrading for 3d design/rendering)
1. by getting 16gb, this would mean going double channel right? Will this still be better than 12gb triple channel?
2. Is it essential I get 1600mhz speed, or would 1333mhz of 12gb still be far better than 6bg 1600mhz?
3. What are the crucial specs I need to check when buying? I nearly got ECC ram then realised its for servers ha. There's always tons of numbers and jargon when looking at stuff, but really I just want some good value ram that surpasses my 6gb.
4. Does the overclock on my cpu also oc the ram? I was told that if it's an oc where the overall voltage has been increased then it will also oc the ram? It was a manufacture oc so I'm presuming it just affects the cpu.
Thanks!
