I'm planning a new build for a friend and am trying to determine which is the better way to go for memory.
Mother board is Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5
Processor is AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
I'm looking at either 2x4 F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL or 4x2 F3-12800CL9Q-8GBRL or just 2x2 F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL and add more later if needed.
Will the 2x4 8 gig. set be easier on the memory controller that a 4x2 set?
Also would I see better performance at 1600 9-9-9-24 or 1333 and tighten up the timings?
Should I be looking at different memory altogether?
Main use for this machine will be photo-video work and rendering with Blender, running Linux only.
Thanks much
Steve
