Does 1Rx8 or 2Rx8 matter?

Have you tried the new RAM with the current RAM in your computer? If your motherboard supports the higher-density “1Rx8” RAM, it should support the lower-density (twice as many memory chips on the stick) “2Rx8” RAM in a “mixed” environment.

What is 1Rx8 vs 2Rx8 RAM?

1Rx8 has the memory on one side only. 2Rx8 is a two-sided memory stick.

Which RAM is better 1Rx8 or 1RX16?

The 1Rx16 modules have significantly lower bandwidth compared to the 1Rx8 variants. The more bank groups a memory module has, the higher the bandwidth is. Contrary to what the naming convention may suggest, the single rank x8 modules have twice as many bank groups compared to the single rank x16 variants.

Can a 2Rx8 instead of 1Rx8?

Generally you can mix 1Rx8 and 2Rx8, as well, though mixing different kinds of RAM sometimes prevents interleaving (i.e., it might be a tad slower). I do recommend running a memory test after RAM upgrades, though.

Should I buy single or dual rank RAM?

Generally Single Rank Memory is faster than Dual Rank Memory, in layman’s terms when a computer accesses Single Rank Memory it only has to go around the track once, where are Dual Rank it would have to go around the track twice.

Can I mix 1Rx8 and 1RX16 RAM?

Yes, you can use them together. Memory access to the 1Rx16 module will be slightly slower, and the latency of of the 1Rx8 module may have to increase to match it, but due to the benefits of dual-channel memory it would still be significantly faster than if you had used the 1Rx8 module on its own.

Can I mix 2Rx8 and 2rx16?

yeah its same. the only thing that is different its the module. which why sometimes combining 2rx16 and 2rx8 works.

How do I know if my RAM is rx8 or rx16?

Look at the sticker on the RAM stick. It will say 1RX8, 2RX8, 1RX16 or 2RX16 on it. If it doesn’t have a sticker, count the chips on it. 4 chips = x16.

What is 1R and 2R memory?

To explain this, you need to understand that a “memory rank” is a 64-bit row of memory chips on a memory module. 2R = two memory ranks per module. 1R = one memory rank per module. 2R memory is often called “dual sided”, as the chips for the different ranks are usually put on opposite faces of the module.

How do I know if my RAM is single rank?

Multiply total number of chips (less any ECC chips) by the chip width. If it equals 64 its single rank. If it equals 128 its dual rank. This is a single-rank module.

Can 1 rx16 and 1Rx8 laptop Rams work together as dual?

The answer is yes it does work .. and my laptop has 6GB of RAM ..
