Well, adding to that, it's a single dimm, that is both good, and bad. You have half the memory bandwidth and performance you could have, so that's bad, but you can buy a single 4GB dimm to add to it, get to 8 gigs and get dual 64bit (or does intel do single 128bit) memory channels. The old systems memory probably won't work. -Harry > > -----Original Message----- > From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of DSinc > Sent: Monday, July 7, 2014 4:20 PM > To: HWG > Subject: [H] Fwd: New Desktop specs from OB > > > Collective, > The long road to replace my OB's desktop PC is over!
