Im planning to buy this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820220040 Only thing that bothers be is DDR is dead but i really dont want to get a whole new motherboard. :/ Right now i have 2 512MB Corsair Great Value RAM. Also my Motherboard supports DDR 400 PC 3200
for the money no. are you overclocking? if you aren't, chances are RAM performance won't affect overall performance much also what are the specs of your current kit?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231039 this should have similar SPDs to the corsair kit. RAM will run at the same speed/latencies as the slower kit, so there is no need to toss the exrta $$$ at more RAM when it turns out to be pointless. one question, is it an intel or AMD setup?
No one cares. Is there any immediate reason why you want my RAM now? 1GB is usually fine for most things; any chance you can just save and wait?
then you did one of the following 1 used insufficient cooling 2 substantially increased the voltage to a part(or used a bad power supply which couldn't give steady voltage) 3 did something stupid not related to the overclocking
two gig ram would be excellent to have but if you have to replace the motherboear i dont think its worth it.
