    quick RAM question.

    I currently am running 3 sticks on a dual channel mobo of OCZ Gold but im looking to get a 4th stick but all I can find is packs of 2 and 3 of OCZ Gold. My friend has an extra stick of RAM and i think its OCZ Black? and he was going to sell me one stick I was wondering if that would work or does all my ram have to be same type?

    You can use any mixtures of memory modules together, as for the benefit of dual channel. I'm pretty sure they have to be the same speeds, timings, etc.

    edit: Just checked my motherboard manual and it says the same thing.

    ahhh okay, mine is 2000 i think? still learning bout hardware lol. anyway to check from computer? OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) is what i have =)

    EDIT: nvm, using cpuz


    i really need to get my pc tuned up, its fresh out the box but idk if everything is working at its best. don't really know how to OC or check things to see if they working to full potential. I have 6 fans in my case plus a Artic Freezer 7 cpu cooler so my case should be cool enough to OC.
