Hey all,
I was just wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade my current 4x2GB DDR3 1600 to 2x8GB DDR3 1866 RAM, or not. I mostly use this PC for gaming. Thing is, I also currently have mixed RAM kits, so I do occasionally get random screen "freezes", and LOTS of freezing at start-up. Pretty sure this is a RAM issue (probably caused by mixed kits...), but I'm not 100% sure. I figure if I'm going to get new RAM to fix this issue (if it's the RAM that's causing this), I may as well upgrade.
Anyone know if this really is a RAM issue or not? And is it worth the upgrade? I.e. any overall performance increase (basic browsing, program launches, etc.), or FPS gains in-game? Just wondering, I don't think it really will but I'm not 100% sure. Would be nice to see some insight from some more experienced people
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, I also livestream sometimes. Would more RAM (at a higher frequency) help increase FPS at all in livestreaming? Not sure if Livestreaming even uses more RAM and such etc. Thanks!
