First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums...>.<
I am currently looking into buying 1GB-2GB of ram to add to my current 1.5 GB. I am upgrading because I received a bunch of games for xmas and my computer is having a bit of trouble playing them, likely due to the low amount of ram.
Just for general information, my computer has:
AMD Athlon 64, 2400 MHz (12 x 200) 3800+
Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT
WD Caviar Black 7200 RPM 750GB HDD
Motherboard Name: Acer Aspire T180
Motherboard Chipset: nVIDIA nForce 6100-4xx, AMD Hammer
Anyway, with that information out of the way, I can get to specifics. I am really just looking for some good and reliable DDR2 800 MHZ ram. I currently have 1 stick of ram that is 512 MB 667 MHZ (Hynix HYMP564U64CP8-Y5) and another stick of ram that is 1GB 800 MHZ (Kingston)
I have some kind of idea of what I may buy but I'm just looking for other opinions on what other ram out there is at a good price right now and has good reliability and performance.
Here's the ram I am considering:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ - Desktop Memory
OR
Newegg.com - Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT12864AA800 - Desktop Memory
I kind of wish I would have decided to get more ram when Bing cash back was so high for Newegg...
