Solved DDR2 Question

[Gudziel]

Hey gurus,

Here is a quick question:

I currently own 8GB's of Newegg.com - OCZ NVIDIA SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory. I am thinking about buying 4x2Gb of Newegg.com - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory. Is this a good move? Will I see much of a difference in performance from the 8Gb's that I currently own now?

Thanks guys

Hello Gudziel,

Sorry, but you will not see that much of an improvement from 800 Mhz to 1066 Mhz.

I'm not disappointed at all. That's why I asked. I didn't want to buy another 8gig's and not see anything from it. I'd prefer to save my money!

Thank you for replying. I kinda thought that but it's always good to be safe than sorry. :D

You're welcome Gudziel.

Yeah, it just wouldn't be enough of a gain to be worth paying that much for it. Unless it just got real cheap, I would just wait until the next time you upgrade and get a motherboard that can use faster DDR3 sticks instead.
