What memory should I use?

[spaceman]

I want to upgrade an older pc that's using DDR3. The CPUZ app lists the memory as PC310700 (667MHz), Would this be compatible with memory listed as 1333MHz DDR3 CL9 DIMM? If that's not compatible then what should I look for?

It should be. Its the same speed that you already have. Wont be much of a upgrade unless your going for more memory. What motherboard do you have?

Go to the crucial website and run the memory scanner tool. It will list compatible memory, what you currently have and how much you can upgrade to

Well it supports up to DDR3 1866 or 2100 if you manually set the timing and voltage. What CPU has it got?

CPU is AMD FX8120
