Hello,
I think I posted this in the wrong spot so I hope I am putting this on the right one now.
I just joined so hello to everyone. I see all these messages on PQI chips and I am wanting to upgrade. I currently have the asus p4p-800 deluxe and 512 3200 "tccc" samsung ram. I am wanting to upgrade them and am thinking, would it be better to just buy three more ram chips of the same samsung I have or can I just get these 1GB PQI Dual Channel PC4000 DDR 500 Turbo timing on the memory is 3-4-4-8 . And if I do get the samsung memory, can I mix and match it? I mean can I get the tccd and tccc chips and mix them? Will it cost me some performance?
I am looking to spend not more than 200 total plus my current chip. So about 260. What do you all think I should do? Would 2 gb of normal memory be better than 1 gb of high end memory? and would that 2 gb of normal memory be ok if they are slightly different chips? I hope I am not bieng to vague or ambiguous here and just plain confused so I hope you all can shed some light as to what my best option would be.
Thanks for all the help,
