Hello everybody .
Iv just registered and this is my first post cause i need some advice on upgrading my PC. Iv read some other stuff but just wanted to make sure before i spend all my moneys.
Ok so i want to upgrade both my RAM and graphics card. At the moment i have 4Gb of DDR3 RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 card. Also the motherboard has a PCI Express slot.
I read that i could use either a DDR3 or DDR5 graphics card and they should both work fine as long as its a PCI express card, is this right? Cause pretty much all the graphics cards iv looked at are DDR5.
Also i want to upgrade my RAM to 8Gb, to do this i would probably take out the two 2Gb ones that are in there and replace them with 2 4Gb ones. Am i correct in thinking this is the best way to do it because the older ones could hold back performance?
Lastly could i use either DDR3 or DDR5 RAM, or only DDR3? If i could use either, would it be better to get DDR5 because ill be getting a DDR5 graphics card also?
Sorry for so many questions in one post
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Max
