Help Identifying how many Ram slots my PC has!(with image)

Paulo Henri · Apr 15, 2016

Hello everyone!
So i have this image of my motherboard, it currently holds 2 ddr2 2g ram cards, the motherboard is dual channel architecture and it is a ASUS P5W DH Deluxe. i would like to know if what i am seeing are 2 adicional slots for ram that are not filled! If they are, i will be able to buy 2x2g ram cards to fill them and complete 8gb of ram. otherwise, i'm done with gaming i guess. my main goal is to run dark souls 3, even though i have a dual core and a gtx650, no ti. it may be hard to do so with these specs, but i feel that with 8gb of ram i can have that adicional push the game needs to run in full speed (currently runs at slow motion, with small stutters)

yes those are two unfilled slots. Go fill them! make sure the RAM speeds an timings are the same.

*First, you must have a 64-bit version of Windows to run this game properly. (if 32-bit W7/8.1 you can upgrade to W10 64-bit for free)

The added memory may help a bit but hard to say how much. Keep in mind that if you have 32-bit OS, and 1GB VRAM on the GTX650 then your usable system memory is roughly 2.8GB. Adding more memory won't make any difference unless it's 64-bit OS.

(going 64-bit OS would give you 4GB usable system memory though)

The MINIMUM CPU recommended is a quad-core, i5-2500 so your main issue is probably a stutter caused by CPU overload.

8GB is the minimum recommendation but I'd really be surprised if it was essential.

use up to 8g max.

I filtered that to 800MHz, 2x2GB kits. Example:

Even if CAS, MHz matches you can still have compatibility issues though (which sometimes tweaking voltage or other settings can fix).

photonboy :

Hello, i have a 64 bit OS, i have not said what my OS was on the original post, but thank you for your comment! =] obviously i don't know if doubling my ram will actually help, as i said, the game runs, if i look at the ground i can run the game at 60 fps, but looking at a distance makes the game run at slow motion, i just am kind of desperate, i really would like to run this game... it also loads really slowly. I'm still debating with myself if doubling ram will genuinely do it... you mentioned CPU overload, although the minimum specs to run dark souls 3 would be an I3, that is also a dual core, except with threading and such.

thanks to everyone, i now know i can, but i don't know if it will help my case lol.
