From your other post, you have the H81M-D/E mobo which has 2 DIMM slots. That mobo allows expansion up to 16GB. You'd have to swap out the 2x 4gb sticks for 2x 8gb sticks.
You can have DS sell you some or just go to Kingston, Corsair, etc and get them there. Either way works. DDR3, 1600/1333. The timing is probably 9-9-9-24. You can use a site also like Crucial.com to scan your rig with its memory configuration and suggest the ram you can use. Whether you need it depends on your usage. For most gaming, 8GB is all you need. If you're doing Virtual then the added ram might help. Edited by bprat22 - 28 Jan 2015 at 11:50am |
