Hello,
I have a computer I built about a month ago, first time. I went for the standard 8 gigs of ram, but I find myself Maxing it out Running a few Java Programs. At the moment i have G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 mounted on a Ausu z97-Pro Mobo (4 ram slots)
Now, I want to updrade to at least 16g, Is it in my best interest to pick up a second set (identical) of 2x4gb Sicks? Cost would be 93$ + shipping.
My second option would be Grab a 2x8gb G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 for 169$ + Shipping
if I went the second option, I'd sell the 8gb kit for 70-80$?
Anyway just looking for advice on the best way to upgrade this.
One more question, Is it normal for my windows OS to use 38% Of 8gb ram on startup?
Thanks
