Hi, Im trying to breathe new life into a 2010 build computer of mine.
One big thing is that it only has 4GB of ram. I use this computer for simple games and browsing (games like terraria and Divinity, and browsing with tonnes of tabs open ...like a normal person).
I am pretty sure I need to increase my memory to 8GB (16GB seems like overkill for what i use). I have 4GB of CAS8 DDR3 1600 memory but cant seem to buy that anymore. I can buy CAS 9 and CAS 11 stuff. I know you aren't really supposed to mix latency but will my motherboard just underclock the faster stuff? I dont really mind losing that speed.
As for the speed i will buy. I cant imagine that I can tell the difference between CAS 9 or 11 based on what I do, so i guess ill just get the slower stuff. Does that make sense?
