Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
Asus SKT-775 P5N-T Deluxe 1333ghz
(GEIL 2GB DDR2 800 CL4.0 DUAL CHANNEL BLACK DRAGON)
XFX 512 mb Nividia Geforce 9800GTX
ThermalTake Blue ORB II
500gb hard drive
Hiper Power 880W

I have recently bought myself my first high end custom computer, my budget at the time was 910 pounds. I new that I would have to minimize my cosh on somthing to keep it in the budget. So I decided to cut back on the Ram.

But now I am looking to put that right, and upgrade to a much better ram. but I am unsure which Ram is the best for my computer, I was thiking of 4gb but thare is so many makes of Ram, and lots of good reviews for most, so I am in a bit of confusion to which is the best for my computer.

So If any one could give me some Idea to which is the best Ram that I should go for, it would be much appreciated.

RAM has to be what the motherboard manufacturer tells you to use.

Chances are, you're not gonna see much of a difference between 2GB vs 4GB RAM, but it all depends on what you use your system for.

If you have no intentions of overclocking your CPU, just add 2GB more of the GEIL DDR2-800 & underclock it to DDR2-667 speed (333MHz) to match your 1333MHz FSB CPU which also runs at 333MHz.
