Hey Guys

The time has come for me too upgrade my 4gb Ram to a 8gb ram (4GBX2).

Right now i own a Gskill ripjaws X 4gb ram stick.

1)Now the maIn thing that i am worried about is that should i go with the EXACT same model?

Do i have to find a ram stick with the same frequency and cas latency?

2)How do i find out the exact specifications of my ram? Can you guys please look at the following picture and tell me what my ram specifications are? Is it 11-11-11-28? 800mhz?

I would be grateful if someone could paste the link of the ram from any online store which delivers in Delhi (Amazon,Flipkart).

Thankyou guys :)

It's better to go with same brand as you need not worry about Speed, frequency, Timings blah blah blah...

Change the timings manually to looser 11-11-11- or the BIOS will do it automatically.

Sunil Looser. Jokes apart google to know about over or underclocking. You really need it.

Then Incinerator should be a heavy dead looser...

Who is even going in to RAM speeds his question was about compatibility! You should get help.

Before I should get help OP might have already bought another RAM and is using it right now...
