Hey all,
I got FEAR yesterday and BF2 a few weeks ago. I have noticed that both games are a huge hit on system memory so I am thinking that getting more would be a good idea. The only problem is that I really don't know what ram and where would I get the best deal in getting the ram in question. My system is currently based on the Gigabyte GA-8KNXP (I know, pretty old but I am still saving for an awesome crossfire system). I want to add at least 1GB to the existing GB in my system. For those who don't know, this mobo is an oddball in the fact that it has SIX DDR slots. Right now I have 2x512MB DDR400 running in dual channel mode. the other four slots must be populated with single-sided sticks. After looking around a while, I am only finding 256MB SS sticks. Are there any 512MB SS sticks? Also, for any size >= 256MB what would be the best choice and price. I am looking to spend $150 max on the upgrade.
Thanks for any help!
