Hello to all the experts!
I am a novice when it comes to Mother boards and memory but right now I am at the juncture where I need some advice.
I have a desktop that has the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO mother board and I am running it at 4 GB RAM.
Recently while gaming and trying to record the gameplay I could not help but notice that there is a huge lag which kind of led me to the conclusion that I need more RAM.
Now when I checked the motherboard's spec I see
4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR3 1800(O.C.)*/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066/800 ECC,Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Now what RAM should I buy - I currently have corsair ddr3 1333. Should I continue with this same memory spec or can I go ahead to 1600 which apparently the mother board supports. I got no clue about oc'ing, so please treat me gently
Also I am only keen on performance and dont necessarily want to oc. I am thinking of going up to 16 GB - so should I stick to 1033 or buy 16 GB of 1600 DDR3 RAM?
I hope my question is correct. Also is g skill better or should I stick to corsair? Please consider me as noob and give me all the advice.
Thanks,
Ananth
