I would like to improve the performance of my PC as I am using some pretty intensive 3D graphics programs for university. I assume the best way to do this is upgrade my RAM. I currently have 512MB (I think DDR SDRAM). I have 3 spare RAM slots.
I would like to know:
a)Is it important to get the same brand?
b)Should I get the same size?
c)Does it matter if they are different speeds?
d)Corsair?, Kingston?, any recommendations?
Alternatively would I be better off whipping out the old one and replacing it with a Corsair Value Select memory - 1 GB - DIMM 184-PIN - DDR 400 MHz ( PC3200 ) and giving my girlfriend my old RAM?
AMD athlon XP 2600 1.99Ghz
ATI 9800 Pro 128MB
80GB Hitachi 7200RPM
Samsung DVD+-RW
19" HP LCD
Thankyou v.much to anyone who replies!
