Hi all
I'm going from 2 gig memory to 4 gig is it worth going the whole hog and getting 8 gig as memory is so cheap at the moment, this pc is only used for gaming… whats your views..
Thanks, Martin

OK thanks for all the advice

I think i will go for 8gig but dont know what to go for??

Geil do a black dragon 8gig kit, these should all be matched, but dont know if they work with my motherboard. Or should i buy 2x 4gig kits if so would there be any problems running the two seperate kit's??

And last but not least what would you recommand...

Again many thanks for all the advice....

Heed his words mrh2017. He has 8Gb himself and still says don't bother

My god,,, GOD has spoken

Should be 2019 but hay i wont hold it against you

Ok so what would be better, adding another 2gig and using all the memory slots or purchasing 2 sticks of 2gig and selling my old memory??

Many thanks,,,

From looking at your sig....You be much better off spending your money on a 8800gts/gtx or 2900xt GPU card...
As that ATI XT1950XTX will be really holding your system back....

Graphics cards will be on the way, will have to change the psu as well..

I hardly did any gaming with 2GB in vista (i only had vista installed for about a week before i upgrading to 4GB)

Hi just wondering what Ballistix memory you are running, i would have to put pc8500 to go with the pc8000 as i cannot get pc8000 memory anymore

Wonder if this will cause a problem?? pc8500 & pc8000 in the same pc???
