8 gigs 800mhz or 4 gigs 1066?
simple as that which would perform better? i do a LOT of multi tasking and video editing im constantly in game and alt tabbing to video editing software
so which would be better for all around performance? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227269 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227289 i already have 4 gigs of that 800mhz sorry for not just searching im about to pass out and im lagging horribly :/ |
