Hi folks,
I'm prepared building a new PC as virtual machine.
host OS - Linux 64bit
guest (VM) OS - Linux/Unix/Windows all 64bit
virtualizer - Orcle VirtualBox
PC config:-
AMD PHENOM II X6 HDT90ZFBGRBOX 1090T CPU
ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 AMD 870,DDR3,USB3.0,SATA3 6Gb/s ATX M/B
http://techwiki.hardwarecanucks.com/pro ... USB3/#spec
RAM - 16G
WD Caviar Black 2002FAEX 2TB SATA3/64MB HDD
I haven't figured out RAM selection. Most makers such as A-DATA only offer 8G kit (4Gx2) except Corsair. Corsair has 16G kit (4Gx4) but quite expensive. Can I get 2 sets 8G kit to make up 16G? Or is there any other suggestion? TIA
B.R.

About 16G RAM
Re: About 16G RAM
get 2 of the same 8gb kits and you will be fine
Core i5-6500 - Corsair Vengence 16GB DDR4 2133 - Asus GTX 1070 DUAL 8GB - Antec 750W - Crucial 525GB SSD - Windows 10 64bit - ASUS 27" LED

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I have been running 2 sets RAM kit and haven't got problem so far. Some folks said they may NOT pair which gave me a shock.
I'm targetting at A-DATA AD8GK21600G Over Clock XPG Gaming Series DDR-3 1600 8G Kit (4Gx2). Its price is quite interesting. AMD PHENOM II X6 HDT90ZFBGRBOX 1090T CPU [AM3] BOX [Black Edition] can run overclock. I suppose I can overclock the RAM speed to 2000MHz on BIOS. Any idea whether the aforesaid RAM match AMD CPU? TIA
B.R.

Re: About 16G RAM
if you need to do any cpu to memory mhz matching the MB Bios can do it. all you need to do is go into bios and manually set the speed there

Re: About 16G RAM
normally when you boot up you will see either the del eky or f2 key you will have to press to get into bios then you should see a few option and find the one that has the option you change the speed of your cpu and memory and you should be able manually adjust the speed of your memory providing you select manual setting. hope this helps. let me know!

Re: About 16G RAM
If you install a different kit it should default to what the kit is already running... So if your system is running 1600MHz memory and you install 2000MHz memory later it should all be running at 1600MHz. You can use a program like CPU-Z to check clock speeds and timings without going into the BIOS.

you have to keep in mind AMD systems in general tend not to be stable with ANY memory above ~1800MHz- be it overclocked or not, never mind that much capacity (I don't like heavily clocking much more than 4GB total)
