Hey all its Gabb again, I was hoping for some input or a follow up on a previous question I had. My current system ( specs in signature ) has 2 gigs of Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
I wanted to get this Ram but was a little weary and am pretty paranoid when it comes to Ram not working and getting blue screens ( as many of the people complained about in their reviews )
Newegg.com - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
so I thought since my current ram works so well ( never got a BSOD and always have software related crashes ) I figured I could get another 2 gigs of the same RAM, and maybe even thought it could be cheaper since it was older
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
I guess I wasnt THAT surprised that its still expensive ( in comparison to other great deals ) since they probably no longer make it anymore. Anyone have any input on what I should do? Or is 4 gigs really not that big of a deal since I have a 32 bit OS still and plan to keep it for at least a year or two. ( so as I understand it with a 32 bit OS I would technically only have 4 gigs - video memory of 700 mb, 3.3 ish gigs of ram )
PS. Im assuming its a terrible idea to put another 2 gig stick of some other type of ram even if it has the same timings etc
BTW my computer is 1 year old
