Upgrading RAM....really worth it?

[Domenech]

Hi everyone, I have a general question regarding RAM. I am not much acquainted that much with the intense computer lingo but I may be able to understand the basics. I recently got a system with the following specs:

Core 2 Quad 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz bus speed, 6Mb cache
Intel DG31PR Motherboard
2 Gb DDR-2 RAM
9500 GT 1Gb Accelerator

I don't do much gaming on PC as I have 360 for that, but I like to mess around a lot with Photoshop and video editing for fun purposes (not professional). I was wondering is getting another 2 Gb of RAM really worth the deal, or probably getting BOTH a new motherboard (as this one has only 2 slots for 2 DDR's) and then bigger RAMs in the range of probably 8 Gb?

I am always confused as to what "type of speed" does a C2Q processor offer and the type that RAM offers.

First off download CPU-Z and check what RAM you have installed and what speed is it running at... Then we can go from there....

Now that depends upon your usability of system. Since you are more into photoshop and video editing only, I think 2 GB is enough for your system and for your usage.
