Should i Double up?

Hi all.

My PC spec is...

Q6600
Gigabyte P35-DSDL Motherboard
4GB DDR2 memory (4 X 1GB sticks)
GTX 460 Cyclone (1GB version)

Should i look at going for 8gb Memory?

If so, can anyone suggest some to look at?

I mostly game on a 19 inch monitor.

Thanks!

I'd buy some new DDR3 memory (2x 8Gigs) if your motherboard can take DDR3

You would probably see a small change

Im not 100% sure if my mobo supports DDR3.

Ill check it out, as it'd be silly to buy DDR2, as its more expencive!

Cheers

Aye, your motherboard is DDR2 - which is still really expensive, especially compared to DDR3.

Also, for gaming you really don't need more than 4GB, as most games are only 32bit.

I would suggest saving your money and put it towards a cores system upgrade further down the line or a bigger monitor.
