hi guys I've just installed W7 64bit onto my slightly dated pc & would like to add more RAM.
currently i have 4 GB of Geil DD2 800mhz D/C & would like to add another 4GB
i can't find any of the exact same type anywere so can i fit a different brand as long as it has the same timings & voltages ?
or would i be better off buying 8 GB of matching RAM ?
my M/B supports up to 1200mhz in dual channel,so would faster memory make much difference for gaming ?
i'll list my poor old PC's spec's
Asus P5QPRO - Q9650 - Seagate SATA 2 350GB - 4GB Geil DDR2 800mhz
ATI HD5870 1GB
it's getting a little creaky now but still performs pretty well.
any advice very gratefully recieved.
cheers.
