How many RAM modules should I go for?

[kunalmg]

I am thinking of upgrading my RAM to 2GB. My question is should I go for 4x512MB or 2x1GB?

 

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

i wud recommend 4*512MB , but if u plan to upgrade furthen then 2*1GB

obviously 2*1 GB, so that u can further upgrade l8r to 4 GB with 2 more sticks and u wont need to dispose the old 512 Mb sticks as well

For all reasons, 2x1GB only

Go for identical 1gbX2 sticks....and put them in dual channel...check wheather ur mobo supports dual channel....

 

[gary4gar]

go for 2X1gb

2x1gb as better expandability and cost value
2X1gb=2x4300=8600/-
4x512mb=4x2700=11000/-

2x1gb as better expandability and cost value
2X1gb=2x4300=8600/-
4x512mb=4x2700=11000/-

I'd like to say that 1gb stick costs Rs.3.6k !!


And hey, 1 512mb stick is Rs.2100 and not Rs.2700, hence, it should be Rs.8,400.

2*1 GB , since it's economical also you can upgrade to at a later stage.

There is no point in either quoting prices or aguing about them without mentioning brands. [and in case of high end ones, specific models also.(value series, gold series etc.)]

Definitely Transcend is one of the best brands available here in India. (I am also using Transcend 512x2)
