So im gonna be buying a new mobo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128034) and 2 sets of this RAM(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134046)
and me and a few other guys got to talking in my highschool A+ class about RAM(its not an advanced class really..which explains a little coming up) and i said i was getting 4 1g sticks to put in my 16gb max mobo. And one of the other guys instantly is like "dude your gonna have to have like 3 really good fans and then like a desk fan or thats gonna overheat soo fast, id only put like 3gb in mine". And so i went along with it cuz hes a grade high than me (im a soph hes a junior) and w/e. But i really thought that he didnt know what he was talking about, or atleast he thought he did but didnt realize he was wrong. So im woundering if it really would be bad to have 4 1g sticks on that mobo with the case linked below?

Peace,
TrevorLClan

There is a similar discussion in another thread about too much RAM... there is no harm in have 4GB of RAM, your computer wont overheat... just not a massive load of point, 2GB is perfectly fine for a computer of a good spec 3GB if you're going to be pushing it a bit but 4GB at the moment isn't really needed. Hope this was helpful.
 
Hello TrevorLClan and welcome to Techspot.

It won't do no damage. That shows the brains of that fellow student of yours.

Also, what operating system are you thinking of putting on?

* 32 bit o/s can hold a maximum of 4 gig ram.
* 64 bit o/s can hold anywhere between 8gb to 128gb +

Hope this helps you out abit.

Regards Jase :)
 
computers don't really use 4GB of RAM unless you're planning on running very very intesive programmes on it... but if you want 4GB Im not stopping you dude, go for it!
 
That link is too your processor, which is your cpu. ( central processing Unit)

A operating system is what your system boots into. For example; Windows xp, Windows Vista.

so i was reading over that processor above and i saw a comment saying dual core is soooooo much better then single core...and i knew it was better but this guy got pretty worked up, so i looked and found this one...little more spendy but i think i can wait for another paycheck and get it :p...thoughts

o.o.c.-->sorry im changing this to a processor kinda thread. this is the last question cuz that was the only thing in my computer build that i was still thinking on really.
 
It's a perfectly ok processor from the looks of it, I'm personally not a fan of AMD's myself but whatever floats your boat really.

But there is nothing wrong with dual core/ Quad core ect ect... they were made to have higher processing speeds, as long as you mobo will support it you're all good.
 
kk ty...and im kinda just trying out amd...i have intel p4 (old, i know) in both my current crap compys at my house and i just want to see what i can get from AMD...hopefully ill like it cuz i dont want to get a whole new mobo :p
 
tyvm...very helpful post...kinda funny to think about some of the stupid people in the world. I'm not saying im a fricken genius when it comes to computers but i definitely think about turning of my computer before putting crap in and taking it out. XD
