Been meaning to upgrade my PC for a while but it ended up seeing me through Oblivion with some quite respectable frames to eye candy ratio so i didn't bother, but now with lots of thing requiring shader 3.0 I've started to upgrade but I've not got a clue about which ram is compatible with which, and if i can still run in dual with different selections
My PC currently has
P4 Prescott 3Ghz
P4P800 E Delux http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=30&model=178&modelmenu=1
X800 Vivo
1GB of Corsair 512MB DDR400 PC3200 XML or XMS
I've just brought an AGP edition of the HD 3850 only to realize i didn't have a good enough power supply in my PC and was thinking about adding more ram into my system whilst i'm ordering something anyway and i think the ram is the weakest part of my system
Will any ram that is DDR400 PC3200 work with my current ram or does the XML or XMS bit mean something? will having more than two mean that i lose out on the duel channel part? And if i add aditional ram does it matter which goes in the two blue slots and which goes in the two black slots? I'm pretty lost.
Sorry for the poorly layed out post, I'm terrible at that.
