I have done maaaaaaaaaany upgrades to my OEM pc. Now you can even say its a new computer (new case, more fans, 7870xt, sound card, better psu). Only thing constant is my motherboard with an i3-2120. Now I plan in buying star wars battlefront 2015, but as a minimum requirement I need at least 8GB of RAM. My setup has 6GB (4 and 2), and Im looking into different kinds of ram.
I checked the specs of my pc and they look like these:
Memory
6 GB
Amount: 6 GB
Speed: PC3-10600 MB/sec
Type: DDR3-1333
Memory upgrade information
Single channel memory architecture
Two 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets
Supports the following:
PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
Supports 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB DIMMs
Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit* systems
Supports up to 8 GB on 64-bit systems
NOTE:
32-bit systems cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.
I searched newegg for ddr3, 1333, 10600 types of ram, and reduced the choices to these 3:
Newegg RAM
Now the only thing that keeps from buying one of these cards, is that they all support dual channel. If you read the description of my memory upgrade specs, you can read it supports a single memory channel architecture. Im kind of confused about this. My setup currently has, like I said, one 4GB, and one 2GB attached to my motherboard. I know its way better to use 2x4GB instead of one single 8GB, so I want to know what are my options.
My motherboard came from a p7-1110 hp pc, and its a carmel2 IPISB-CU model.
