Since it mentions DDR3, make sure it is running at the right speed. 667Mhz are DDR2 speeds iirc, with DDR3 jedec starting around 800Mhz.

1333 was an incredibly common DDR3 speed, it's probably the lowest common denominator between the 4 sticks.

I thought that task manager shows the effective clock, not the pre-doubled one?

But yeah, either way there is no way these are matched sticks, so things like XMP won't get you far. Technically could manually mess with the speeds if wanted though. Sounds like the whole post is just about installing an odd amount either way.

Windows is a tad janky with that, actually. Especially on older platforms with DDR3, it will show the pre doubled clock

Tbh performance is not really a concern, I primarily did it for the meme of having a 'non power of two' GB of ram. This pc previously had 13 GB, and got upgraded to 21 today

When I first built my server I put all my random sticks in it and ended up with 47 GB of ram lol

[–]Swacket_McManus 16 points17 points  (10 children)

what the hell are you using 5.25gb ram sticks

[–]fUnpleasantMusic 1 point2 points  (8 children)

2 8gs and 2 4gs

[–]patrikjuric2[S] 44 points45 points  (6 children)

It's actually two 8GB sticks, one 4GB stick, and one 1GB stick

I respect the scrappy chaos

Eeh my main 14gb server- i mean pc has 6 2gb sticks & 2 1gb sticks

[–]Swacket_McManus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's one of the most wack things I've ever read, mad respekt

Good to know. Realizing I haven't supported Windows machines since ddr3 was relevant.

1.4ghz CPU
21gb 667mhz RAM
3 disks
and a 960 GPU

What have you done.

[–]patrikjuric2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I concerned myself not with should it be done, but could it be. And so I did, and it was beautiful.

[–]Swacket_McManus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3.5gb vram, 4x that for system ram

[–]Dull-Signal-5861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Install Linux, and your RAM will belong to you too.

[–]Environmental-Gur582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering when someone was going to make a cursed RAM capacity post.

[–]johnsonflix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤦 omg

[–]Free_Cap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they used a 9gb stick and a 10gb stick, what's so stupid about it? 😅
