Single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs

To understand and configure memory protection modes properly, an understanding of single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs is helpful. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.

A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is, effectively, two dual-rank DIMMs on the same module. Only one rank is accessible at a time. The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.

We understood that your query is about Memory up-gradation. As you have mentioned that you have got one 4 GB dual rank Memory and one 4 GB single rank Memory. This can be fixed to any of the slot, but the speed will vary while working. The problem with mixing unmatched pairs is that you can't be. Jul 09, 2013  Good picture, though bear in mind, in most cases, though the rear IO for that GPU fits in a single slot configuration, that's still considered a dual slot GPU, as the cooler is two slots tall. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but the card on the left is technically a single slot. Jan 31, 2018  Memory comparison at 'Gaming'. Single channel vs Dual channel (1x8 vs 2x4). RAM DDR4 8GB (1x8GB) 3000MHz CL16. RAM DDR4 8GB (2X4GB) 3000MHz CL16.

Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current DRAM technology supports 8-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 16 GB, and a quad-rank DIMM would be 32 GB.

LRDIMMs are labeled as quad-rank DIMMs; however, they function more like dual-rank DIMMs. There are four ranks of DRAM on the DIMM, but the LRDIMM buffer creates an abstraction that allows the DIMM to appear as a dual-rank DIMM to the system. The LRDIMM buffer also isolates the electrical loading of the DRAM from the system to allow for faster operation. These two changes allow the system to support up to three LRDIMMs per memory channel, providing for up to 50% greater memory capacity and higher memory operating speed compared to quad-rank RDIMMs.

Ram Dual Vs Single

I have this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161310
and another one coming today.
however..
I just noticed this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161317
I was wondering if there were any benefits from going with single slot designs as opposed to duals when running xfire.
I know that it might save me the use of a PCI slot or 2 but honestly, I do not use any PCI cards whatsoever.
I'm more concerned with heat.
Any info would be appreciated!
