Upgrading Ram for gaming

Randy "The Ram" Robinson already gained enough weight

Yeah, you'll get more performance adding second, identical stick than replacing it with just 4 GB of gaming ram.

I'm up to 80GB RAM, thx!

...

thanks a lot really awesome, no ive got 80 Gb and i don't know what to do with it.
hopefully google doesn't get this so it will start charging just like the drive :(

^ This is the sensible answer. Since you appear to have a module already, you could look for one with similar specs to yours and pair it with it.
Since you write that yours has a frequency of 887Mhz, double check that it is DDR3 and not DDR2, using a software like CPUID.

I don't know, I've heard 1866 is a noticeable difference but not to go higher than that.

Why are you so negative? It really bums people out. You must be fun at ... wherever you are.

Maybe some things you said are right, but can't you just make your tone softer, or at least as straight as possible? You're getting on my nerves even if you're not talking to me.

You know, I usually don't give a damn about people like you, but you being awfully active posting here and there on this forum, I think I'll let you have some.

Maybe you could get something from this post. If you don't, oh well too bad. Not that I care anyways.

thanks those are the ones i want, but blu XD

DDR2 is now such an old standard that it just isn't made so it's rarer.

DDR2?, sounds like an upgrade incoming XD. Or it depends on your cpu capabilitites and if your mobo supports PCI express X16 2.0, so then just get a better GPU.

i have a decent, not the hardcore best, but i manage to run extra textures smoothly. no VSYNc. and I love my CPU

This. Add identical stick, and you're all set.

dual channel boost performance for about 0 to 2% (in very intensive specific programs) ...

4Gb is not enough if you're planning on for example using lots of mods for Skyrim.

thanks, awesome conclusion.

It depends, Firefox into a ramdisk becomes pure awesomeness but IMO, the gain over a SSD doesn't worth it. You can try it by yourself easily, the freeware version of RAMDisk is more than enough (4GB max size).

seems legit, the only thing burning will be the ram XD

thanks but I have already download it, now i've got 80 gigz thx

can you further explain on SSD?, i have been reading adn they do "sound" awesome. And my Modern warfare 3 takes years to load on high specs.

I second this, since Win Vista's renewed DirectX capabilities (I guess this was DirectX 10 ?!?) RAM speed does not matter anymore as it did before. Get a cheap one, similiar to what you already have (better the same), if you need more RAM.
A SSD would really be worth it, if you can afford it. The huge performance boost (compared to a classic HDD) is the ability to load many small files in very little time, what you need for i.e. loading your OS or a game.
