Hello,
I've been needing new ram due to the fact that I have 2gb. (Lol)
Anyway, I can't run my a10-5700 without good ram so I was looking for suggestions on what type I should purchase. I have two slots on my fm2-a75ma-e35 that can reach at the max 2133 MHz.
Thanks in advance

for amd A series APU's get the fastest ddr3 you can afford with the lowest latency... try to aim for cas 9 or lower anything over 1600 will do but you will get slightly more performance from 2133 on that build. the problem is for the price of some 2133 ram you could get slower ram and a dedicated gfx card, but get more performance for the same outlay.
if you can afford it get the fastest ram, if you cant then get slower and a dedicated gpu.
