LandShark Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 my current hardwares i bought about 2 years ago CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 Conroe 2.93GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 75W Dual-Core Processor RAM: Corsair DHX XMS2 Dominator Dual Channel 2048MB PC8500 DDR2 1066Mhz Memory (2 x 1024MB) MPN: TWIN2X2048-8500C5D mobo: ASUS Striker Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Video card: Gefore 8800 GTX I play World of Warcraft only with this machine. at max resolution. normally it runs fine, unless im in a crowded town. the frame rate drops from 60 to 7-8 FPS. and the harddrives constantly loads, also the screen becomes Skippy. i installed Windows 7 yesterday. it comes with a hardware evaluation tool on a scale of 1.0 to 7.9: CPU: 6.3 RAM: 5.5 graphics: 6.9 gaming graphics: 6.9 hard drive: 5.9 the RAM has the lowest score for "Memory operations per second" Windows 7 also has a small gadget which monitoring CPU and RAM usage. at the slowest point of the game. the CPU usage is at 80%, but RAM usage is almost up. so, i think i either need to buy a pair of 1GB ram to get 4GB total, or ditch the old ram and get 4GB or even 8GB brand new faster ram. BTW, i have Win 7 64bit installed. i also plan to get a brand new computer after Diablo 3 comes out what should i do and buy? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's never recommended to mix memory of different part #s / version #s / sizes / ICs. Best to just get a 4 GB pack to replace what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 If it's the same version it'll probably work together, but it can't be guaranteed since they haven't tested it. He'll probably respond tomorrow. Only so many business hours in the day, and this thread was started half way through yesterday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
