choosing correct ram

[Manish dha]

i have a ram of 4096mb at 1600mhz.DDR3,,,brand: A data tach.
type detail: synchronous

but i wan to add on another 4gb of ram..but its hard to find ram from the stated brand in sg.
can i just buy crucial's ram( http/www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory/ble4g3d1608de1tx0 )
would it really matter? plz help fast?

To change from 4gb to 8gb the only guarantee is going to be with an 8gb kit.

You can try another stick of identical ram but there's a good chance it won't work.

but i have 2 slots available and have 4gb pre installed and it works pretty fine
it would be a waste if i just buy 8gb and throw my 4gb
its gonna cost be twice the moneyman (((
wht are the chances tht if i buy a ram of same speed and size it wont work with my pre installe one

A good chance it won't work? impossible, i have a 2+4 Gb RAM of different brand, same clock and same Freq, it works,is it really a problem to buy separate RAMs?

This seems like what youre looking for (Adata) and while its the high performance version it should work:

That said you may want to consider getting this instead:

For the most consistent performance. The higher grade module I posted up top will be slowed if your current memory module is of lower grade. That said you probably won't notice, so its fine.

That I'm not sure of but you can at least take the part numbers and look on other sites. That said, if you bought the crucial it WILL work fine. While matched pairs of memory modules are preferable there is nothing that will prevent the crucial from working, it just may not perform to its full potential, but like I said you won't notice. If you can't find Adata memory on anywhere that sells by you, then go for the crucial, it will do the job.

"I enabled XMP (eXtreme Memory Profile), which set all the DRAM correctly to their specification (2400 and manufacturer's specified timings) with the exception of the ADATA and AMD sets, where two sets (2x8GB) of DRAM were provided to fulfill the 32GB. This often happens when people mix sets of DRAM, and as here, even with identical sets of DRAM. Often, one can make minor voltage and/or timing adjustments to get the sets or sticks to play, but not always. This is why DRAM manufacturers offer such a wide variety of sets of DRAM in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 stick sets; the DRAM in a given package is all tested to work together. DRAM today, especially in the higher frequencies and tighter timings, is made to such high tolerances that many factors can affect the ability of sticks to play nicely together."

ok it worked just fine
and i can see a heavy boost in performance ..especially in gaming
until yesterday i was getting barely 60fps at low setting in league of legends but now i am getting steady fps of 80 at high setting
thx evryone
