| Mem speed effect on SMP core Hi All Does anyone know what effect memory speed has on folding at home,specifically the SMP core client? I have 2 duff Corsair 3200 modules that only do 160Mhz and as the machine only runs F@H SMP I was wondering if replacing them with DDR500 would have a positive impact on folding speed? Ta 4 any info Smiffy

| As far as I know, the impact should be negligible. Maybe slightly more if there is little cache, in theory.... If the DDR500 is more total memory, it could be noticeable. Clear as mud...

| Ta for the reply SteveI Was going to get Ballistix PC4000 but am not sure if 2GB mem at 3200 may be a better bet than 1GB of 4000. As the rigs are folding SMP maybe more might be better than faster Smiffy

| In general, 2gigs are definitely better than 1.  Specific to folding, I suspect the faster memory speed would be outweighed by the overall benefits of the just having more memory. Is the rig a dedicated folder?

| Hi SteveI Yes.My main rig has 2gb but the other 4 which do nothing but fold only have 1gb each. They all run the SMP client(Or will do when they are all up and running) Ta for the inf Smiffy
