hi i have a 512MB ddr ram memory on my pc wit a 64mb geforce 5200. But im gona get a radeon 9550 256 MB. i kno how to install the new card but i was wonderin should i upgrade my memory? and if so which is the wisest way to do it?
well i wanna boost game performance and iv heard good things about the 9550 budget wise. thing is i dont know if the ram should be upgraded. As for slots i am using 1 slot i think ther is also a free one.
im sorry but wat do u mean by free resources? do i have to have a specific ram size to get d graphic card? thanx 4 d quick answer on previous posts
Im taking it that your upgradin your graphics for better gaming abilities so i would get more memory anyway as most new games dont tend to work brilliantly with any less that 1 gig of ram so if youve got a free memory slot slap an extra 512mb in there
Hey thanks sypher tek just wanted to be sure about that. Dpp please how do u check free resources. i get the red lines in ther performance page but wat am i supposed to look at? thanx dude
when in task manager, try right hand tab & you'll see info near the bottom. going by memory as don't use w2k or xp.
I'm currently building a computer and my atx motherboard has 3 Ram slots. I was wondering if I should stick 3x 1gb sticks in there or stick with 3x 512mb ones. I'm going to get a eVGA 256mb 7800GT if that matters. And anyone has suggestions on what brand I should get?Thanks in advance.
hey invasian, well putting 1 gig in every slot will giv you twice as much memory as putting 512 in every slot which is better espescially if your planning on doing a lot of gaming, more memory the better as a general rule Do you mean brand of memory or brand of grfx card?
Thanks for input. Sorry didn't clear it, what brand of Ram is what I meant. It can handle 3GB. I'm going to use it for gaming. Seems that everyone uses 1gb for gaming.
see if you have dual channel,if you do buy a kit oof ram.dont just slap any kind of memory in your pc cause the proformance wont be there.if you dont have dual channel by all means slap happy with that ram...lol but if you have dual channel buy a kit like this.... http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_el_ddr_pc_3200_dual_channel_platinum_rev_2 this is just an example of what a kit of ram is....you have to get what is rated for your pc like pc2700 333ddr,or pc3200 400ddr...ok...alot of people like cosair xms, ocz platiniums are a little cheaper and i like them.....hope this helped you...peace
