Hi,

I was wondering if I could get some help with my inquiry about the memory RAM - DDR2. I'd like to either add more rams or replace the ones that I already have got on my mobo.

The two rams that I've had are PC2-8500 (Dual Channel). I believe they are DDR2 because I googled it.

This machine is built for autocad drawings. It's rather getting slow now (perhaps it's aging already). Hence, I was thinking of adding more memory to it to increase its performance.

I'm not sure if it's a sensible decision to replace the existing rams with 2 of the new DDR4 or DDR3. But then, I'm not sure whether or not it'd be supported by my mobo.

The goal here is I'd like to increase it to 4G at least.

My mobo is Asus p5k deluxe.

Any thoughts or advice are greatly appreciated.

The PC runs on win 7 pro.

Thank you very much

DDR2 only

4 x DIMM, Max. 8 GB, DDR2 1066*/800/667 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
*The chipset officially supports the memory frequency up to DDR2 800MHz. Tuned by ASUS Super Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR2 1066MHz
Please refer to www.asus.com or user manual for Memory QVL.
**When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
