Show Us Your WEI [4]

He may not be able to add more RAM but he could swap out his present RAM for RAM that has better timings than his Corsairs have. He might even pick up a point on his WEI. My RAM is 9-9-9-24 @ 1600MHz and my WEI for memory is 7.9. However, now is a lousy time to buy RAM; prices have gone up through the roof.

I don`t think going from 10-10-10-27 to 9-9-9-24 would be worth the coin, but I was looking at these for the faster speed, but as you mention the prices are through the roof. In less then 3 weeks it went from $160 to $185

G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10Q-16GZH - Newegg.com

And if I put in new ram, that`s still considered adding ram, correct

Maybe I should remove The Iron Maiden and put HasRAM as Bill suggested

The latest , Very Happy with it

Cough WTH 32 GB ????

I almost spit my beer out what do you need with that much Ram

Btw great scores

I'm sure professional editing can get into that much RAM usage, hence why Socket 2011 can handle much more, but I'd try to find some other place to spend the money if it were me. I've never done a bit of photo work, but I have messed around with some video editing and I've never used more than 8GB. The problem is, if you EVER use more than 16GB you'll feel it immediately, and to fix that you have to step up to 32GB. Most people grossly overestimate their RAM usage lol.

I do a lot of Video but I still don't use as much I get close to 6 or 7gb no more then that

VM I understand photo shop they take an extensive amount but seriously there is nothing I have used that has shot me any where near 16gb of use and I run a lot at one time too

The only drawback to a bunch of RAM is the price vs return. With how expensive RAM is now the money would be better spent on other components. But, if you need it, there's no way around it.

I know I didn`t need it, but those 2 empty slots started getting to me, and I`ve waited long enough to get them.

I just had to Add Ram

The prices just kept on gonig up and up, so when I saw I could get the other 16 gigs for $139 total, I grabbed them.

Now my rig is pretty much complete, I may add another 760, and a larger ssd.

The black and blue ram is striking

A Guy

Here's my latest wei score. The GX 780 didn't change anything as the GTX 560 Ti already had a 7.9 score.
