I just type fast enough to be able to put thoughts to "virtual paper" in a "thinking out loud/talking over a beer in the bar" kind of fashion, it's not really planned
In the more heated debates it's a byproduct of including as many details as possible so that i can make a clear point and avoid being misunderstood or having an exchange of one-liners with other posters. You could say i just like to preempt and cover as many angles as possible, instead of having to wait for someone to post a single sentence and reply to them in a similar manner. It's a longer posts/more info per post for a smaller post count type of thing
Back on the topic of RAM, that will probably be the one mini-upgrade i'm going to go for after i've done some test flights with CoD. I have three sticks of 1GB each in triple channel (i don't remember timings and clock speeds so i'll have to look it up, but i'm probably going to opt for mid-range settings).
I'm thinking of pushing the total up to 6GB by getting an extra 3x1GB in triple channel, as the motherboard has 3 more slots available in a separate "bank".
My question is, do the new sticks have to share clock speeds and timings with my existing ones, can i "underclock" the faster set to match the slower one if they need to match, or do i just plug them in as long as they are in separate banks?
Edit: Looking at the local e-shop retailers there's DDR3 kits from as low as 35 all the way to 78 Euros, a middle of the road 1333Mhz Corsair kit is at 52 and has a lifetime warranty! I head RAM was getting cheap but i didn't know it was that cheap, i may jump the gun and get it earlier
