I have a gateway computer and use vm ware to run some virtual desktops for work and such and just wanted to upgrade some ram to the 6GB installed by gateway. i went on the Crucial website and got some ram "compatible" for my system. Now after the installation of this ram, 2GB, I have noticed that there has been some slow down and just instability. I downloaded speccy to check my ram after reading on here that all ram should be the same and notice a difference in the RAM.
The 6GB that came with the system say Max Bandwidth PC3-10700 (667 MHz)
The 2GB I just got says Max Bandwidth PC3-12800 (800 MHz)
would the difference in Max Bandwidth be causing the slow downs and BSOD i got the other day? Never really had a problem with this computer until I installed the RAM. There are no viruses as I reformatted thinking it was a software issue, malware, etc.
thanks..
