Hello friends,
My system has Gigabyte GA-G41M-Combo (rev. 2.0) motherboard. I had installed it just 6 months back. CPU is Core2Duo E7500, RAM is 4GB DDR3 (T-RAM brand). I am sure that this is just a local brand RAM but its working quite flawlessly since 2 and half years (since I had an MSI G41M-P26 mobo earlier). Also I have a 500GB and another 1TB hard-drives.
Now my query is that when I checked Gigabyte mobo product page it says for my mobo that-
1. 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory
2. Support for DDR3 1333(O.C.)/1066/800 MHz memory modules
And hence I checked my RAM info through a program, it says my RAM is running at just 533.3 MHz (7-7-7-20)!!!! So, is it the max speed of my current RAM or something is being kept for the reserve by my system? Apart from this the product page says to use either 800/1066 or 1333 MHz RAMs so how my RAM (at 533.3 MHz) is working? Is it hampering and destroying my PC components gradually?
Anyways, I just want to upgrade my system a bit by adding one more hard disk of 4TB capacity. So please suggest me the most suitable DDR3 RAM to keep my system running flawlessly with the existing and additional hard-drive. And what does Gigabyte mean by stating 'O.C.' for 1333 MHz RAM? I know overclocking but does it mean to overclock the RAM manually at my end or are such factory OCd RAMs already available for sale?
I want to install 2 modules of 4GB DDR3 RAM each, for maximum possible speed-boost in dual-channel architecture mode, for my system. So, please suggest me the best possible RAMs satisfying my requirements. Please note that I am from India which lags far behind the western countries in the terms of hardware and technical-products availability, let alone their launch in Indian market!!!! So suggest me accordingly.
Thanking you all expert people in anticipation of great help and co-operation.
