Hey guys I want to upgrade my ram but have a quick question and would really like some expert advice, I currently have 2 GB of DDR2 6400 ram and would like to update. I am running Windows 7 64bit and might upgrade to Windows 8 64bit. I want to know if I should get 8GB of PC5300 ram or 4GB of PC6400 ram because my motherboard is an Intel DG965WH and can't handle more than those 2 configurations. The rest of my PC specs are below:
Intel DG965WH Motherboard
1.6ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB DDR2 PC6400 Ram
ATI 1650 Extreme 512mb GDDR3 Graphics Card
SB Fatality Soundcard
I have a 2 monitor setup and Outlook is always running on one. I usually use Word, Photoshop and do some light video editing.
Let me know what you guys suggest...
Also if I get the 8GB PC6400 ram will my computer post and load windows but lower the ram to PC5300 or will it not work at all or be unstable?
