i have a k8v-se deluxe mobo in my aging computer.
I can't get a new pc for about 6 months but i want to upgrade the ram in this old rig anyways.
My current ram is pc3200 3x512mb ddr400 ram, which apparently only runs at 333mhz in my motherboard , a design overlook or something (when 3 slots are filled the ram runs slower)
I'm considering getting 2x1gb sticks, so it runs at full speed and ultimately would be 512mb more ram than i have now.
184-pin is the ram that fits my computer...
Does anyone know the cheapest decent ram i could get for this setup? I have a feeling it would help the lag in my favourite game (ww2ol) which is ram intensive...
(my other parts are amd3400+ cpu, and x800xt 256mb video card which are probably both adequate for what i'm doing, for now)
Am i right in thinking my ram is my computers bottleneck?
edit: PS, i live in canada , and ncix.com seems to be the best for me, price wise
