Can I use 1Rx8 and 1Rx16 together?

The difference is the memory density. 1Rx16 is lower density memory than 1Rx8. 1Rx16 memory is very hard to find, and since the 8 GB chip is 1Rx8 and you want to add another one, that is what you should look for.

Can I mix 1Rx8 and 2Rx8?

Generally you can mix 1Rx8 and 2Rx8, as well, though mixing different kinds of RAM sometimes prevents interleaving (i.e., it might be a tad slower).

Is 1Rx8 or 1Rx16 better?

The 1Rx16 modules have significantly lower bandwidth compared to the 1Rx8 variants. The more bank groups a memory module has, the higher the bandwidth is. Contrary to what the naming convention may suggest, the single rank x8 modules have twice as many bank groups compared to the single rank x16 variants.

How do I know if my RAM is 1Rx16 or 1Rx8?

1RX8 sticks of memory have four “bank groups,” or groups of physical memory modules, on each stick. 1RX16 sticks, on the other hand, have only two bank groups.

What is the difference between 1Rx8 and 2Rx8?

Distinguished. 1Rx8 has the memory on one side only. 2Rx8 is a two-sided memory stick.

What does pc3l 12800 mean?

12.8GB/sec
he next generation of DDR3 has arrived. DDR3-1600 memory has a module classification of PC3-12800, which effectively means the peak data rate of the module is 12.8GB/sec (see table). That’s about a 17\% improvement on memory bandwidth over DDR3-1333.

What is x16 in RAM?

The “x8” and “x16” distinction is a technical spec that’s mostly a concern to someone who’s actually writing the DRAM controller. When you’re shopping around for actual memory chips, the sizes aren’t in something like 1024 MB or 512MB. They’re more like 512M x 2 or 128M x 8 for a 1024 MB chip.
