Here's my RAM... Recommend me a good upgrade

Drewser · 10-12-2007, 08:03 PM

Here's the specs on my RAM and mainboard from CPU-Z, it's the stock stuff that came with my Gateway FX530s, and I am looking to upgrade to some good stuff here soon. Anyone got some good suggestions, looking to spend about $100 +/- a little for 2GB's...

Other slot contains the same module...

Gimme the model number. You should get Crucial DDR800 or Gskills DDR800.

This should work:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
or
Newegg.com - Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Unless you're looking for memory to overclock, you'll probably be fine with what you have...

Really? Would it not be really worth it to upgrade if I wasn't planning on OC'ing any time soon?

I am still in the process of learning about timings and such with RAM and related components, and I just figured that whatever came stock with the PC wasn't that great.

No. Whatever came stock is probably decent for general use. Also, I few faster times isn't worth the money. It's only worth it if your building.
