    ahh ok...so even though it says 1800 (OC) it really just means that I can use up to 1800

    makes sense :) and thanks for sticking through all my thickheadedness lol

    This is correct.

    alright, I'll have to look further into 1800 mem then...although I might just stick with 1333 or go up to 1600 cuz of the price and availability (Newegg doesn't have larger than 2gb sticks for 1800)

Mixing RAM
in Hardware & Devices

I have 4GB of DDR3 Ram right now, and I'm thinking of adding another 4GB. I have this ram right now, but it is deactivated on the Newegg site. Because I can't buy that ram anymore, can I mix it with this? Because, as far as I can tell, they are basically identical. Thanks :D

in Hardware & Devices

I have a fairly new PC with two hard drives in it. 1 that came with it (1 TB), and another I took from an older PC (250 GB). I noticed that sometimes the 250 GB one will make a whine sound, as if starting up and the PC will have a brief freeze up period for about 3 - 5 seconds. However, this is...

Mixing RAM
in Hardware & Devices

I've been thinking about buying some more ram, because I have read here that some believe that more than 2-4GBs is needed to get proper performance out of W7 x64, but I do not want to waste what I already have. To be able to increase the RAM on both of my rigs, I would need to buy 2 sticks of 2GB,...
