I'm fed up!

Please stop using the DUAL CHANNEL frequency with TRIPPLE CHANNEL memory kits and configurations for example with a 2GHz Dual Channel memory config each stick goes 1GHz and therefore with a Tripple Channel memory config with "2GHz RAM" 3 sticks are going 1GHz each, therefore giving 3GHz NOT 2GHz so a 2GHz Tripple Channel memory kit HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 2GHz!!!
Also in effect the "Double Data Rate" v3 RAM would be "Tripple Data Rate".

Sorry but that new G.Skill memory review triggered this.

Problem solved on page 4.

 

I think you are meaning the difference between DDR2 and DDR3 ram speeds, not Dual Channel and Triple Chanel? If not, what are you talking about?

 

What the hell are you talking about.

 

The Intel Core i7 CPU's use up to three memory channels instead of 2 like all other platforms so 3 DDR3 ram sticks will be going 1 3rd faster due to 3 sticks working as one instead of 2 witch is why its been called "Double Data Rate" ram.

 

I do not think he even knows. lol

 

My IQ is over 140.

 

rofl

 

OMG, you do realise that if I have 2 stick of 1Ghz ram it does not mean my ram now runs at 2Ghz right? Just like 3 sticks of 1Ghz ram does not mean I am now running at 3Ghz....no, it's just more ram running at that same speed.

 

and so is mine so....?

 

lol my penis is this big! ! wheres that highly detailed diagram again?

 

Damn good response to any IQ brag.

 

You dont get it, the 2GHz spec apply's to both sticks in a Dual Channel kit running in Dual Channel mode but each stick is going at 1 GHz, you can add more ram to the second slot in each slot pair on the motherboard but that will just increase the capacity now all channels are used, 2 channels one channel for each slot pair, the same appys to a tripple channel configuration but most i7 motherboards have 3 pairs of slots therefore Three Channels for the Tripple Channel memory controller making 3GHz.

 

How else can I prove i'm not some crazy idiot?

 

My penis has a penis bigger than yours!

 

Ahem,
Don't you mean triple............not tripple? I guess at 140 IQ they use a different dictionary.

 

Sorry i'm a bit twitchy when it comes to double letters.

 

David, it's just like Nato said. What you seem to be doing is similar to what some eBay sellers trying to sell a computer do.... saying a Quad core computer with each core running at 2.66Ghz is a 10.64Ghz computer system. whether it's dual channel or triple channel, the only benefit you're really getting is that information being paged to RAM can be done basically in the same way a striped RAID array works. The memory is still running at the same speed.

And bringing up Double Data Rate when you're talking about Dual- or Triple-channel isn't really helping your supposed IQ statement... at least not in the computer field. The two have nothing to do with each other.

 

Would you care to explain Mr. Universe?

 

What's there to explain? DDR is a memory standard. Dual- and Triple-channel is a motherboard feature/standard. That's like saying Triple-Channel mode will only be active if you buy one of those Triple-Channel DDR3 kits. You'll get the same result if you buy 3 separate DDR3 sticks.

 

What i'm trying to say is the memory modules Actual frequency is half that witch is specified so 2 sticks of 2GHz(EFFECTIVE) ram would go at 1GHz each and in a Triple Channel configuration with a Core i7 that 2GHz ram will have an effective frequency of 3GHz not 1 or 2.

ElementalDragon, explain Double Data Rate.
