hi i need to add some ram to my PC for Rfactor 2 to run smoothly... as with 4GB and windows 32 it is not ok I have and i7 with AMD hd6000 video card .... and now i am installing windows 64 bit to view more RAM .... What RAM should i buy? i need x2 4gb gaming rams what timing should these ram have: 9-9-9-24 timing or it have to have other timings? MHz 1600 ok? brands Corair or Kingston or Gskill let me know so i get the better performing and value for money ram thanks Noel
http://isiforums.net/f/forumdisplay.php/8-Hardware-Building-Buying-Usage-Advice Those timings are okay, I recommend any of those brands or timings for a non-overclocked i7. 1600-C8 ( 8-8-8-24) will give your desktop a tiny boost if you happen to find any. I would not be too worried about value when running stock........ difference between $99 and $119 ram is negligible.
I recommend G-Skill. You should try to get the same as what you have already if your adding to them. It is irrelevant what you get if adding to your existing ram because your ram will run at the lowest/highest stick. so the 8-8-8-24 will only run at your already installed ram,not at 8-8-8-24.
It is very likely that you won't see much of an improvement with 8GB of RAM compared to the 4GB you have now. If rF2 doesn't run well enough, I agree you should try with a 64bit OS, but rF2 and Win7 64 run just fine with 4GB of RAM, you don't have to have 8GB for that. If your PC doesn't run rF2 well you should first check what kind of video card you have installed exactly. 'AMD HD6000' is not a model but a family of cards with models from super crappy & slow to decent (if it's a 6970 or 6990). Find out what kind of a model you have exactly. Depending on your budget you might want to put the money you're planning to invest in new RAM (and some more) in a new video card and get much better results.
