Title: DDR3 1600MHz 2GB Stick!
Post by: TheSuperiorOne on December 04, 2009, 12:37:31 PM

Hi,

Recently built a nice new computer =)

Windows 7 (64bit)
Core i7 2.8GHz -
Ram 6gb 1600Mhz DDR3
Velociraptor WD 300GB HD

However due to the config of my motherboard I can only use 4 of the 6GB of ram,

Im looking to purchase a SINGLE 2GB stick... everywhere I know of only sells it in packs of 2 or 3 s ticks

and when searching for 2gb, I always get given 2 x 1GB sticks

Anybody know where i can purchase a single DDR 3 compatable with:
Corsair Memory 1600MHz DDR3 CL8

Cheers

David

here are 3 modules from an american website, if your either from the UK or US either of these websites are worth noting. shop around on them and maybe you will find a module you will want

Doesn't make sense you would ask a question about RAM support and leave out the name..model# of the MBoard...
All i7 boards support 1-2G RAM per slot...

I wish I had the same computer as you, since mine is slow as *censored*.
You should look online at http://www.bizrate.com/ddr3-1600-megahertz-2-gigabytes/ (http://www.bizrate.com/ddr3-1600-megahertz-2-gigabytes/) for a good price.

Sorry i wasnt very clear..

The motherboard supports 16GB...
I have 6GB... but because of the set up of the board, windows7 can only use 4 of the 6 (because its dual or something... the term is currently escpaing me!)

thanks for the websites ill have a look at them!

my problem is trying to purchase a SINGLE 2GB stick :) (clarification)


cheers
