Stock Memory sticks vs Gaming Memory

sid2007 · 10-22-2009, 06:01 PM

I have a Dell and was wondering if there would be a notice in performance if i get Gaming Memory. I see this will fit mine OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel I have 4GB now but what came with it. Another ? is can i have 2GB gaming memory and 2GB of the stock Memory in at the same time? Thanks

well you probably cant lower your timings in your BIOS... to tell you the truth you wont notice a difference... save you money up and buy a better video card...

A Dell is probably not going to have settings for Voltage and timing. When you boot, it will set it to JEDEC standards at 667 1.8/1.9V so your timing will default higher anyway. Be a waste of money.

the only thing you could really do would just be to get more memory and a video card.
