Hey all,
I'm currently looking to upgrade my RAM, and have a few general questions about compatibility and which combo would be best to go for.
My current specs are in my signature, and as you can see I'm still on DDR2. In terms of size, would it better for me to keep my current sticks and add on another 4GB (2x2) or remove the old 2GB (2x1) sticks and simply stick with the new 4GB ones. Not too sure how dual channel affects performance and to what extent, but seeing as the two new sticks I'm looking to buy will very likely be of a different make and model to the ones I have now, I'm not too sure whether the best way to go is to stack them together or swap the old for the new.
Also, in terms of manufacturers, OCZ is yet to do wrong by me, and I was eyeballing the OCZ 4GB 8500 Platinum sticks, but wanted to hear what others had to say and whether or not I should look to alternatives like Corsair or Kingston.
Cheers for the help
