Dear Forum
(Repharsing my question from yesterday with all data about my computer)
My Win7 PC is currently running 4GB Patriot 1600LL DDR3 RAM.
I would like to double the RAM by adding another 4G on the second slot aiming at extending my PCs life time.
What do I have to look at?
Below metrics extracted from CPU-Z
CPU:
Processor: Intel Core i7 860 @2.8GHz
Mainboard:
Chipset: Intel, DMI Host Bridge
Southbridge: Intel, P55
Memory:
Type: DDR3
Size: 4096MBytes
Channels#: Dual
NB Frequency 2400MHz
Timings:
RAM Frequency: 533MHz
SPD:
On Slot #1: DDR3
Module Size: 2048 Mbytes
Max Bandwidth: PC3-8500F (533MHz)
Manufacturer: Patriot Memory
Part Number: 1600LL Series
Timings Table::Frequency: JEDEC #1
Timings Table::Frequency: JEDEC #2
Timings Table::Frequency: XMP-1600
Is this thing too old to even consider extending RAM?
Can I simply buy any old 4G DDR3 RAM or what metrics should I pay attention to?
Can I instead fit it with e.g. 2*8G RAM of a newer make?
