8 GB Memory Upgrade

Dylan Moody · Apr 6, 2014

I am considering upgrading my computer to 8 GB of RAM. The max that my computer can is hold if 8 GB. Right now I have 6 GB of 1333-10600 RAM and I am just wondering if it is worth the money to upgrade to 8 GB of 1600-12800 RAM. Would it make much of a difference or should I just stick with what I have?

(I do moderate gaming; ie: WoW, MW3, Titanfall)

I have the stock motherboard in my HP Pavilion p7-1226s. It is the Pegatron IPISB-CU (Carmel2).

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

i don't think 2gb of ram is worth the money.

Okay? lol So I'm guessing you don't think it's worth it?

considering you'll be ditching the 6gb thats in there, you'll be paying 8gb money for a 2gb upgrade. so no, i wouldnt think its worth it.

It came with 6GB originally. It has two slots suporting - "PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)"

Changing to 8GB would mean 2 x 4GB matching sticks, completely replacing what you have. For minimal gain. I'd just leave it as is.
Doubtful you'd see any real benefit with 8GB over the existing 6GB.
