What is DDR3 ?

DDR3 SDRAM stands for Double Data Rate Three Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. Compared to DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM delivers higher performance, maintaining lower voltage levels and greatly improving data transfer rates.

DDR3 is hardly a new technology, having been around for roughly few years now. While many of you are no doubt familiar with the technology, we will still quickly skim over a few of the basics. DDR3 is not only designed to be faster than DDR2, but it also uses considerably less power as well, around 30% less power.

How to identify different type of RAM ?

Note: Different Motherboard Supports different types of RAM's. So please spare some time to go through the Motherboard Manual or Instruction Booklet.

Safe Installation of Memory Modules

The installation of memory modules is a quick and easy process. No matter the type of your memory or computer, this installation guide will help you get your memory up and running.

Step 1: Shut down your computer. Locate the memory expansion slots on your motherboard.

Step 2: Touch your computer's power supply to ground yourself. Make sure the power supply is still connected to the wall outlet.

Step 3: Push open the retainer clips (as illustrated in below images).

Step 4: Memory modules fit one way only; align the notch in the memory module's gold pins with the notch in the memory installation slot. Push firmly on the top of the module until it is properly seated. The retainer clips will ease into the notches at either horizontal edge of the modules.

Step 5: Installation complete!

You got the corsair latencies wrong.

those are JDEC spec latencies(dom gt has different spec), and will not work with the rated speed.

See the tested latency. that is the XMP spec and will work with the rated speed.

and XMP voltage is 1.65v for most(the pre-SB release models).

Thanks for pointing it out, even i have the same confusion how to put these specs. BTW changed it to the Tested Latency.

One more thing, if core i7 2500k can cross 5GHz+ with H20 cooling, but does it mean Intel should start selling these processor saying they can HIT 5GHz+ out of the box. That's why its called OC with Users Risk & doesn't comes under manufacturing warranties. I know RAM's are of different case, but running beyond the rated Frequency with Voltage Tweak is again a part of RISK !..

Almost all RAM you see is rated at XMP profile. They actually work safely at the XMP spec, but the thing is that JDEC, which is an Intel front, rates RAM at lower to comply with Intel's Uncore spec (1066Mhz for Bloomfield and Gulftown, 1333Mhz for their Extreme counterparts).

You probably wont see RAM marketed for AMD systems containing an XMP profile.

The JDEC spec is marked during chip manufacture, so vendors like Corsair, formerly OCZ(they dropped out of RAM market in case u didnt know),G Skill etc cannot do anything about it. It's just the way the RAM reaches them from Samsung, Hyndai, Epilda, Hynix etc.

you can use 2+4Gb memory modules from different manufacturers with similar specs but it's better if you use ram module of same manufacturer. Another thing is your motherboard supports upto 1333 Mhz ddr3 ram speed so getting corsair value series 1333 Mhz module makes more sense here.

Then you can buy them at cheaper rates at that time. There is no game that can use 8GB of system RAM apart from GPU ram. If in case any such game is invented by any of the developers even then it won't be worthwhile as you would need to upgrade your GPU in that case as it would be slow as hell.
The GPU don't use system ram much. As its pretty slow by there standards.

If you have excess money and want to spend that on additional ram for the fun of it. Then yes surely go ahead. But, it won't make any difference in the performace of your computer.

Gtx 750ti is a pretty good card. You can easily expect mid to high lvl settings on full hd 1080p. For 720p that would scale even better with full/max settings.

If your budget allows then you can consider gtx960 as well. It definitely is better than gtx750 ti. You can expect high to max settings at full hd 1080p with gtx 960.

For 720p though 960 would be an overkill with almost Rs5-6k difference over 750ti. So, decide according to your budget.

Your 800 Mhz ram module is actually a 1600 Mhz modules so yes, you need to look for 1600 Mhz module. You can use a 8GB single module. As your cpu config is single channel only either 2x4Gb or a single 8GB does not makes any performance difference. So if you want a little less heat and power consumption with possibility of making the laptop a 16Gb power horse then get the single 8Gb module. You can also use the existing 4GB module to make the memory capacity to a whooping 12GB.
