Question about ram memory
So I currently have 4 gigs of ram, and I'm thinking of buying 4 more, I checked my specs and everything, and my comp uses ddr2. However my current memory is at a lower speed than the ram I intend to buy. Is it best to buy identical pairs of memory (same speed/volt)? If so which brand would you reccomend?

im on 64 bit, 4 slots on motherboard, when i play games such as Aion or tera i can play fine, but my physical memory is on the 90s. and when i alt tab to do sumthing on desktop it gets really sluggish, until i exit the game.

Usually RAM is not the limiting step in computer speed and buying more usually has little to no effect on your computer.[/quote]
Also this. I have 4GB of RAM and I don't think it has been the bottleneck on like anything I do.
[quote=skylinebossz]yeah i read my manual and everything, ddr2, 8 gig max, so i guess i'll have to buy 2x 2x2[/quote]
That would be 4 ram cards (or 3 if you have 1 4Gb already). Does your motherboard support 4 cards? Otherwise, you need 2 4Gb cards.

Did you check the number of slots you have? Also, is your operating system 64-bit?

Ew ddr2.
Yea identical pairs are best.
EDIT: Corsair is always highly recommended.
