a few months ago i changed my motherboard to a Asus P5Q Deluxe and im thinking of replacing my current ram with something better

at the moment i have Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX so id like to get 8GB of whatever is suggested

im pretty sure my current ram is DDR2 800 but on my motherboard box it says that it supports DDR2 1200, any suggestions? :confused:

id also like to get memory that wont need any messing around to get working, i just want to put it in and power on :p on my old system i had to mess around in the bios with a single stick installed before i could use it
 
thanks for the link :) im guessing thats faster than the ram i have at the moment (im a bit clueless when it comes to memory) so would i notice any performance increase if i got 2 of those (8gb total) to replace my current ram?
 
well i was having problems with a few games so the first thing i thought of was the memory ;) but since then i have tried my friends 8800gt in my system and the problems are gone so now it looks like my graphics card is faulty

thanks for all the advice tho :)
 
gtx280, its not really like normal slowdown as my framerate still seems high when it happens, its more like stuttering
 
here is my full system

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600
Nvidia GTX280
SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX
Asus P5Q Deluxe
Corsair HX 620W Psu

im sure its not a driver issue because i have recently changed from vista 64 to windows 7 64 ;)
 
well the problem was there in vista too but i just thought maybe it was just with the one game (oblivion) and i just didnt bother playing it, i have been noticing it in a lot more games tho and its really annoying
 
the weird thing is that crysis is one of the few games that i dont have problems with :p but older games that my friends can run perfectly are giving me trouble
the witcher ,age of empires 3 & pure to name a few ;) i even have trouble running the demo of the new sherlock holmes vs jack the ripper game because of the amount of stuttering
 
yep i always made sure they were up to date ;) it wasnt just old games tho, farcry 2 also had a lot of stuttering when i dont think it should have
 
oops :p i forgot to remove that from the list, i took the audigy out a few weeks ago when i was trying to isolate the problem and i didnt bother to put it back in so its not that ;)

i keep a txt document of my specs for if i ever need to post them and it was a copy/paste job :o
