worth the upgrade?

Nevakonaza · 05-21-2008, 06:54 PM

hey guys,

do you think it would be worth taking out my 3gigs of ram which are 667mhz (running at 772mhz) and buying 4Gigs of pc6400?

this one to be exact

would i notice any performance increase?

i will go back to vista one day.

Unless your running a 64 bit OS your wasting your money upgrading. 3 gb is plenty for 95 percent of users.

If you can overclock the 6400 RAM by 100mgz as you did with the 667 RAM, I think it's worth it.

no, I doubt you will notice a difference unless the ram is limiting your cpu overclocking.

Like previously said. If you don't have a 64bit OS, adding a GB will do nothing. But if you do buy a 4GB kit, get OCZ's 4GB dual channel SLI kit. I bought it and love it.

...dual-channel SLI kit? SLI memory kit? huh?

Well anyway just in case you missed it: ain't worth it, IMO...
