RAM Upgrade Advice

[jlocasto]

Hi. I am looking to upgrade my RAM in my PC. Here are my specs:

HP Compaq 6005 Pro Microtower
Win 7 Pro (32 Bit)
AMD Athlon II x2 215 Processor, 2.7 GHz
4096MB RAM (2@2GB sticks)
Power Supply: 320W

I want to get something that will make my system run faster, if it's possible. I just upgarded my Graphics card and that did wonders for my games (Radeon 6670). I have 4 slots, according to the specs listed for my system:

* Up to 16 GB PC-3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SDRAM Memory (4 X 4 GB)
NOTE: Up to 1 GB may not be available with 32-bit operating systems due to system resource requirements. Dual Channel is only supported when the system is configured with DDR3 symmetric memory (i.e. 2 x2GB)

Any advice is appreciated!

No point since your OS limits you to 4GB max.

AMD Radeon HD 6670 great for watching movies (very high HQV 2.0 score) and too weak to play heavy games. To make the system much faster try to buy and install SSD.
