Memory speed: Increas performance?

Hello

My actual system as 6 gig of memory with a 400 MHZ speed

Questions:

- If I install 1066 6 gig at 1066 will I increase the performance of my system?
- Could I Increase performance by modifying the voltage of my actual memory stick?

Any help or idea appreciated

You can't put memory that is faster than the memory that your pc came with in.

Hello windude99

My board is Asus P5B .. a bit old, but I just saw a video on Youtube where a guy did install 1066 Mhz memory stick

Question: Do memory do adapt to the highest speed available for the board. If the speed is lower then the speed will be lower?

An Intel Q6600 has a FSB speed of 1066Mhz. So, with Intel being quad pumped, divide 1066 / 4 = 266Mhz. So, with DDR2 ram, since it's Double data rate, that would mean 266Mhz x 2 = 533Mhz. So, based on this information, the appropriate RAM for your machine would be DDR2-533Mhz. Without overclocking your rig, you box really isn't going to take advantage of the faster speed RAM.

Hello ppark1

Thanks for the info. I'm quite green in the mater. I did overclock it from 266 to 320 Mhz this afternoon. Whit that, what is the maximum speed I could install?

Is there another adjustment that could increase the speed of my actual PC. The next big step will be to get a new motherboard, CPU and ram, but before the investment, maybe I could get more juice from it without spending to munch money

I was going to suggest an SSD, but you already have one.

There's nothing of significance you can do other than overclock the CPU, if that interests you. For many tasks, you wouldn't notice the difference.

New CPU, RAM, and motherboard is what you need. I upgraded about a year ago from a dual core 6600 and noticed the difference---but it wasn't overwhelming.

OK

I will see next week how my PC with the new increased speed do. My main application is a charting software and it lag a bit.

I did get a new graphic card and problem did re-appeared after few hour.
