Hi everyone,
So, I've got 3GB DDR2 of RAM in my rig at the moment and the most it can support is 8GB according to the manufacturer's website. Link
I just want to upgrade from the 3GB I have now, to 8GB, the maximum it can take. I'm aware that I will need to go from a 32bit to 64bit OS. Also, there are only 2 RAM slots, so it'd have to be 2 x 4GB DDR2 sticks or just 1x8GB DDR2, whichever would be best performance wise.
Here is my rig:
Motherboard: ASRock G41M-VS2
PSU: Corsair CX500
RAM: 3GB DDR2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Here is a screenshot of CPU-Z:
Now, which kind of DDR2 sticks can I actually use with this setup? Obviously DDR2, however speed wise?
Edit: I think from my understanding, what the motherboard can take is; DDR2 800 which means PC2 6400 stick. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you for reading and any replies!
