Need DDR3 RAM · DIGIT-ARC

currently I have

Corsair 2X2GB XMS3-1333 and want to buy another 4GB RAM

my current RAM clock timing is 9-9-9-24 and speed is 1333Mhz Max

so i have 2 slots remaining and need 2x2GB more

I'll prefer Dual Channel setup but can ignore it if needed

Buy the same xms3 ram. Get 2x2gb if you want dual channel set up.

not much unless you run memory benchmarks. you can safely go with it.

Q: If install a 4GB 1600Mhz which is higher than my 1333Mhz then the new RAM will work at 1333Mhz frequency? but the CAS timing must match with old RAM which is 9-9-9-24

am I correct?

Yes u are correct

Thanks...
and also it won't matter if I install Gskill RAM or Kingston RAM if I stick to above rule :mrgreen:

Q: Is heatsink necessary? as my current RAM has heatsink

D

I don't think it works with RAM from different companies.....

Finally I have ordered this

As long as RAM timings are same, company of RAM should not matter ( as long as u dont mix hynix with elpida,etc , Not like there is any chance of doing that anyways

)
