blockhead Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi Everyone, I'm trying to put together a new workstation in the very near future and I was hoping to get some advice regarding memory. Does Houdini benefit much from quad channel memory configs vs dual channel assuming the same capacity? I'm not a gamer and will be using this strictly for work, mostly pyro, flip, rbd stuff. I'm also aware this might be a dumb question but... Example 01: I wait for the new 3950X (16 core) and get 2x32GB Ram vs Example 02: I get a Threadripper 2950X (also 16 core) and get 4x16GB Ram Would there be instances where having a quad channel setup / slower CPU out perform a system with dual channel memory / faster CPU? I've seen gaming benchmarks where there was little to no difference between quad/dual configs but haven't found anything regarding intensive simulations.

wuquecn Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 It is recommended to use 32g memory module for the convenience of upgrading higher memory in the future, otherwise 8 16g memory modules can only be upgraded to 128G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
