I currently am running the following system
Intel 2.8 GHz (800 MHz FSB)
1 Gb stick of DDR-333 (2.5,3,3,6)
Leadtek 6800 GT
few HDDs yada yada
My question is whether or not to upgrade to DDR 400. I have shopped around and want to upgrade to 2 Gb of Ram and have notced that with the current situation I have my FSBRAM ratio is 3:2 with DDR 400 I would have a ratio of 1:1 (correct me if I'm wrong). Speeding up my system.
But is it even worht the extra cash? What performance will I actually gain. If the difference is little I would buy one more sitck of ddr 333. If the performance gain will be gigantic than i will invest in the DDR 400.
Then my next question would be whch modules. I prefer shopping at newegg if you could provide links and all i would greatly appreciate it.
I am considering maybe overclocking in the future, not heavily but a little tweaking here and there so consider this is your comments please.
