Question about ram upgrade

Brico · 05-28-2009, 11:20 PM

Hello all, I have a question what would be a good upgrade in ram from CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)? I can spend anything around and under 60 or so $.

I use this computer to game and work with some 3-D apps but mostly to game. Reason for wanting to upgrade? Not entirely sure but I feel that the timings on the sticks I have aren't really "amazing". Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Well they're Corsair so the timing should be good. I don't see why you should upgrade because if this is the highest speed your mobo slot can handle then there is no point.

There really isn't any Upgrade to the RAM you have if you're using the XMS series.
And, 4GB of RAM is plenty.
