Compability with Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX

[NeoFusion]

Hi All,

 

I'm currently in the process of shopping for some extra RAM for my system, but i'm unsure which RAM will be compatible with my current memory. I have 2 GB of MY-079-CS Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2.

 

I want to upgrade to 4 GB. (I have 64 bit Vista, so should be compatible I hear)

 

The question is which RAM (if any) is compatible with this and not likely to slow down my machine (by having different speeds). Would I be better speed wise to completely replace the 2GB I have at the moment with 4GB of same brand Corsair RAM. If so which would you recommend?

 

I don't really want to spend too much on this, but a nice performance gain for anywhere between £40 - £80 would be cool.

 

My entire setup is as follows:

 

Motherboard: MSI-K8NN4P MSI K8n Neo4 Platinum Nforce 4 Ultra S939 PCI-E Dual DDR 400

 

Processor: AMD-X242O AMD X2 Dual Core Athlon 64 4200 512 Socket 939Pin

 

OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium x64Bit OEM 1PK DVD

 

Graphics: Asus 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTVOut PCI-E Graphics Card

 

RAM: MY-079-CS Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2

 

Storage: Seagate 7200.10 320GB SATAII/300 8.5ms 7200RPM 16MB Cache

 

Power: Nexus Real Silent 500Watt Power Supply Unit

 

Thanks for your help!

Mixing and matching DRAM is never a sure thing. You would do well to find modules that are the same revision as yours.
