RDRAM 8 Device or 4

[Nuguy]

I need to purchase RDRM for an Asus PT4 motherboard. Noticed that you have a choice of 8 device or 4 device. Please tell me the difference. Looking at Samsung 128 non-ecc, 800 hz. Thank you for your help.

8 device sticks are lower density and people seem to be able to overclock them better. If you're overclocking go for the 8 device modules. If you're not going to then just get whichever is cheaper.

If you are planning on overclocking go for 16 device RAM modules!

16 device for 256MB sticks.
8 device for 128MB sticks.

Oh, didn't realise that! Thanx.
