I have a Gateway FX6860 with 8GB Ram, SSD HD, and looking to move to 16GB Ram. It appears I have SDD3-1600 ram, four 2GB sticks. I am an engineer and use AutoCAD and graphics programs. Occasionally I run out of memory.
Does anyone have advice for me? I may not have focused on the right questions, but in my mind, I am trying to resolve a few questions.
Scanning with Crucial, shows DDR3-1600. I am assuming that if I purchased -2800 that it may not be any faster, and may not clock faster than 1600.
Some show voltage 1.5 and some 1.65, Does the voltage matter?
There are many price ranges and brands. Would any DDR3 work? I see several 2x8GB kits, but assume I would be better with a 4x4GB kit.
I could select reasonably priced memory such as G.Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3-1600 @ $67, or spend more to get CORSAIR Vengence PR DDR3-2800 at $205. I don't know that I would see a significant performance difference to to there.
Most have Cas Latency of 7 or 9 but I could spend more money and get 12. What is the difference?
Thanks you, any help would be appreciated.
