hi guys i like to know if i add more RAM to my computer would speed it up and help with crossfire i got 8GB already and might put a other 8GB more making 16GB in total

my specs

M/B asrock 990fx extreme 3
CPU FX 4170 @ 4.4
RAM Kingston Hyper 8GB @ 1600 (KHX1600C9D3K2/8G)
PSU powercool 750watts
GPU ASUS HD 7770 X2 (DC-1GD5-V2)
HHD 500GB SATA 3 (cant remember the make )
CASE Zalman Z9-U3 Mid Tower

i will use the same ram has i got now i just like to know if it would speed it up or slow it down
if any one would help due to what i found on amd site about my GPU

http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/77...

because it says 8GB or more for crossfiring so i thought add more ram would help with the GPU due to some game i get bad fps in any setting or bad micro-stuttering too

and also i like to know if any one has use the asrock X fast ram dose it speed up the system or not??

thanks
simon

While gaming check your Memory usage in the task manager or any pc monitoring software, if your using over 70-75% constantly then an upgrade would be beneficial.
If your using like 3/8 or around 50% then i don't really see a point in the upgrade unless you work with some sort of editing or rendering software.

yes too much of ram does help any better i have 6 gigs of ram but even at full load with many application running at same time it never crosses 50% ram usage mark.
better spend on something other.
