Guys please tell me, is it good for a DDR2 RAM ? the clock rates, etc ?
can I improve it by OCing ? or should I just buy a new 1 ?

Could be OK RAM. Looks to be generic, so, just run a battery of RAM tests on it for a few days, and see if you get errors.

I think the frequency of the ram is very low ! what do you think ?
I was ultra n00b at the time I bought them ,

Generally, high performance DDR2 was considered by the Anandtech crowd as '800 Mhz', or faster. Put another way, PC2-6400, or higher. The fastest you can buy is PC2-8500, which runs at '1066 Mhz' DDR. Just make sure before you buy any replacement RAM, that the new RAM only needs 1.80V. Higher performance DDR2 always wanted considerably more voltage. This is the RAM I used in my Q9650 gaming setup, which as you can see, it needs ~2.00V: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166

edit: It's pretty easy to find PC2-6400 that only needs 1.80V. BTW, what processor is running in this system?

tysm bro for the support !
its c2d E7500 + DG41RQ
If I get a 800Mhz RAM, will it make any great difference in performance ?

PS: can you tell what is the frequency of my current RAM ?

 

[Yuriman]

It will probably make very little difference in performance, except in a few select cases. More RAM is almost always better than faster RAM. You'll probably want 8GB.

Try CPUZ for system information.

huh !:|
That means officially there is only 1 upgrade solution for my Rig : "SSD"
Nothing More or Less
:ninja:

 

[Yuriman]

I think you'd enjoy that upgrade more.

 

[Deders]

It depends on what platform you put it on, The Core 2 generation of Intel CPU's had a slow memory controller compared to AMD's on chip solution. Most of the time AMD had twice the bandwidth with the same ram.

Therefore an upgrade would make more of an impact on an Intel Core 2 duo/quad system than an Athlonx2 or Phenom system.

For instance just by configuring the ram in my friend's Core 2 quad from single channel to dual channel increased the framerate in Crysis by 6fps which is quite considerable. I doubt it would have had so much of an impact on an Athlonx2 system as the CPU would have been more of a bottleneck.

If you are just using it for browsing without high performance games then you won't notice much difference at all.

^_^I hope so. SSD= V300 120GB . will it be okay ?

Should be alright, though if the price difference isn't too much I would go for a Crucial MX100 or Transcend TS128.

Most modern SSDs feel about the same in real-world usage, though the Transcend drives bench great for their price.

 

[ArisVer]

SSD is the best improvement you can do; worry about memory later depending on whether you need it.
Honestly though, using a HDD is not bad at all once the system is loaded. Accessing files and programs stored on the SSD though is super fast, reads and writes as well.

Go with a Crucial MX100, Kingston's pulled some funny stuff with their ssd's.

but crucial might not be available here and would be very expensive if it is !
and aw man, what funny stuff by Kingston !!
