Hi everyone! First of all, I'm new here! So try to have patience on me cause I'm THAT rookie here! I know some stuff though (I'm from Argentina btw).
I have this PC:
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
Mother Intel DP43TF P45/P43 (works with DDR2)
GPU ATI Radeon HD 5670 1024MB
2GB Kingston Single-Channel DDR2 333mhz (5-5-5-15)
Windows 7 32bits
I'd like to know if I can add more RAM to it. I know that I have to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit to have 4GB RAM for example, so don't worry about that. 2 more GB to have 4GB would be ideal (DDR2 RAM is so much more expensive than DDR3 here in Argentina! but well, what are you gonna do? I obviously can't put DDR3, I know).
So, what do you recommend? Throw that 333mhz to the trash and buy 2x2GB with higher mhz and dual-channel? (that would be the expensive solution)
I've read that if I put 800mhz for example, it will run at 333mhz to "pair" the other one.
So, please, help me cause I can't find anything THAT specific on the web.
Nothing else, that's all folks. So, thanks in advanced to everyone, and I hope you can help me!
