I have a C2D E6300 (from 2006 ) and 2GB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz.
What sort of performance gain, if any, would I get by increasing memory speed - perhaps going to 2GB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz?
(I know I could also double up to 4GB for real cheap, but I'm mainly curious about how memory speed affects the system performance in the context of my stock E6300 CPU.)
Edit: in case it's relevant, mobo is GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3
