Question about Memory Upgrade

diamondhindend · Apr 6, 2013

I currently have 8GB of memory, I would like to double that to 16GB.

When upgrading, does it really matter what type I get? Like, is there really any difference between the two I listed below?

Also, will I experience any negative effects after upgrading?

Hello

Here are a few specs: (Let me know if anything else is needed)

Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (9200.win8_gdr.130108-1504)
System Manufacturer: Gateway
System Model: DX4870
BIOS: P11-A3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8060MB RAM
PSU: 500w

I would like 16GB because I plan on hosting a game similar to minecraft on my PC, the more ram I have = the more players who can connect and play at the same time. Plus, the more ram the better, right?

Hi

Hosting is more about CPU power than ram... i seriously think 16 gb is overkill for little advantage...but up to you...

All the best Brett
