Getting new RAM card, what get?

[otto-san]

Anyone have any ideas on what RAM card to get?

All that matters is the amount of RAM, and that it will fit your current RAM slots. the frequency and speed of the RAM is all just a gimmick to get more money and sky-rocket the cost of it. But I would still recommend a well-known brand to avoid crappy made RAM.

I think I'll be getting a Dell one. At least 2GB of RAM on it would be nice, 4GB if possible.


I haven't really looked inside this computer yet, so I'm not sure.

I'll have to check that first, of course.

4 GB is what you will want, 2 gigs is gonna be used up mostly by the OS. I don't know what you mean by dell, does dell sell ram? corsair and patriot are usually the cheapest on newegg.

Dell sells RAM cards, I have a Dell computer, so.

It seems I have another slot for a RAM card, unless I looked at the wrong thing.

I have 4GB of RAM right now. I want more.

Is your OS 32bit or 64bit?

32bit can only recognize up to 3/4GB of ram.

Well more is not going to help you at all. No game is going to use over 4 gigs of ram and if it is it is poorly optimized. You can't just throw in 8 or 16 gigs of ram and expect your CPU and GPU to magically be good.

64-bit.

I'm mostly getting it because my Minecraft server uses about ~1,000,000 memory when it has about four people on it, according to the task manager, and so it lags a lot.

Well minecraft fits into the poorly optimized category.

True.

I never said anything about cheap.

Get 4 gigs of ram and a 60/64gb SSD to use as a boot drive for things.

[Isjix]

G.Skill and Corsair is the way to go.

They seem to be mostly 4GB(2GBx2),


i'm stupid;

Does this mean it's just two 2GB cards? or does it mean it's a 4GB card and they are helping me with multiplication?
