Memory Upgrade Issue - New 3 x 4GB set

[Mel_P]

Hello - I had 3 x 2GB triple channel memory sticks (OCZ 1333 MHz) and found with Photoshop the memory use was 100%

SO I purchased 3 x 4GB sticks (Kingston Hyper X blue 1600 MHz).

Thought I would jut plug them in to get 18GB but PC was unstable.

SO unplugged 3 originals and moved new 4GB sticks to slots 1, 2 and 3.

Seems to be OK

Should I be able to run all 6 memory sticks together?

But now I have 3 x 2GB sticks I don't need!

You should have thought about that before you bought the new RAM.

I did - I was only going to use the new RAM but just thought I would try it. 12GB seems enough for my Photoshop use.

I did realise it would only run at the lower clock speed.

Photoshop is now runnnig at 6 - 7GB memory for stitching panoramics so 12GB is adequate - I will try the members market to sell old RAM.

I am overclocked so having all slots full would seem to be a problem - thanks for that snippet of info.
