Happy holidays!
I have 2x2GB Crucial running in dual channel
(Newegg doesnt have the info on the RAM I purchased so I have no idea what their latencies or timings truly are, but CPU-Z is telling me
"CAS# LATENCY (CL) 8.0 CLOCKS.
Cycle Time (tRAS) 24 Clocks)" is there another way to know timings or latencies)
I have 4 RAM slots, thus 2 are currently free. I need more RAM so I have decided to upgrade to 8GB RAM.
Will I have to get the same RAM as my previous 2? Or can I get a Kingston 2x4 or 2x8 2x2 etc?
I know this must have been answered several times somewhere, but I have searched so much and I haven't gotten a straight exact answer, so I decided to get post it as a question here <3.
Thanks.
