A Quick RAM Query for the Tech-heads

Recommended Posts

After spending most of the day Googling and surfing I think I've found the right RAM to upgrade my gaming desktop with. I'm lucky I found some at all, as apparently high capacity DDR2 RAM is rarer than pixie dust these days.

 

I know I'm OK as regards the DDR2, but after reading into different types of DDR2 (240-Pin DIMM etc.) I just want to be sure that I'm buying the right thing for my PC. If anyone with IT skills sees this, could they let me know if I'm making the right choice?

 

Here's the RAM in question that I'm going buying:

..... and here's my current RAM specs:

Thanks in advance :good:

If it's a desktop, it's 240-pin non-ECC. If it's a laptop, then it uses 200 pin SO-DIMMs.

Cheers, Fubar!

 

Hopefully this'll sort out my framerate woes :deadhorse:

Not to be a downer, but I don't think it will that much. It should aid loading times a bit, but generally speaking more RAM won't make a game run faster once you're above the minimum, and 4GB is usually plenty for SF2.

 

CPU and video card are the 2 big things there. I don't know what you have, but the fact that you're using DDR2 indicates the CPU at least is on the older side.
