Upgrading RAM - PC3200
 

Alright, I have 1.2 gigs of RAM in my computer right now. It consists of 2 sticks of 2100 (256 + 512MB) and a stick of 512 2700. I want to upgrade and buy 2 sticks of 3200 512. My dad says it wont make a big difference but I dont know and I wanted to ask you guys what you think. Is it worth the money to upgrade?

hell no,, your PC is fucking fast enough.

bus speed determined by lowest common denominator

lmao =( why u say that? biggrin:

EDIT:
what the hell does that mean?

it means that no matter what, the slowest memory in your system will determine the speed for the rest of your memory

how in fuck are you currently mixing 2 diffrent type of ram speeds ?. It is impossible / Unstable. upgrade to 400mhz bus speed ram. corsair, oz , kingston, samsung even. high speed ram should not be cheap name brands. + how are you currently mixing 2 types ?

are you sure, ive never heard of that oOo:

Yep...in chemistry it's called the "Rate Determining Step".

You got a line of cars, all Ferraris except for the Yugo at the front of the line. The Yugo is puttering along at 10mph, forcing the Ferraris to go 10mph too.

it is true.

umm you shouldnt be mixing ram anyways. just buy the 2 sticks.

just get 2.

If i did that, would i get an increase in performance good enough that i can notice it alot than if i just kept the ram i have now?

tell your self this. "It's not how much the money is worth, it's how much the money is worth to you."

is the board dual channel?
