seems like i cant run SLI anymore due to not having enough power so....
in order to achieve Dual Channel
All the ram must have the same timings and speed, and the rest can be different right? (IE voltage)
thanks in advance
EDIT - and just to make sure, how do i know what timings on my ram? I bought CL4, but when i ran CPU-Z, it says i am running on 5 (which it seems like its the maz since CPU-Z doesnt display any 6 timings)
i think i bought this at Microcenter

and thinking of getting this to save some money

Hmm, i am about to go cheap and thinking of getting this

do they perform as well as my corsair and will it be able to run Dual Channel?
if it limits my Corsair XMS2 then i wont get it and get another XMS2 later when i get more money.
EDIT2 - this is off topic and didnt want to post another topic, but i read somewhere that if you got a sound card, and put it in the system, it makes the CPU work easier, IE the CPU will perform better since the sound card has its own processor. is that true?
If it is, then what are some good brand sound cards?
i am not using Surround sound, i only have 2 speakers and no sub, i might get some later, but then again, maybe not, so how channels on the card should i get?
