best memory for asus p5kc

[slightlee]

hi
i have had fantastic results on here recently regarding another issue i had and would gratefully receive any input on this one please.

i have an asus p5kc motherboard.
intel core 2 duo cpu e4600 2.40ghz
antac 600 power supply
invidia 460 2gb graphics

it can take ddr2 or ddr3 ram.

at the moment i have 2x1gb ddr2.

i do not understand 2 2 2 17 or 7 7 7 26 or whatever, so just need to be told what i need.obviously a brief description would be good.

what is the best that i should put in as an upgrade?

i am not into tweeking and adjusting things to the limit, just a simple install and reliable.

as i explained in my last post, i realise that this is not a monster gaming pc, but i am not ready for that yet,maybe next year but this is ok at the moment.


cheers
lee

look online for cruscail ddr3 ram 800 speed. it should be a 2 dimm kit of 4g each to work in your mb.

You only support 8GB total if you use DDR2, so I suggest you do that. If you use DDR3 you only support up to 4GB.

It's 2GB per slot, and you have SIX slots (two for DDR3, and four for DDR2).

I'll post some links for 1066MHz kits of 4x2GB.

DDR2, 1066, 2x2GB kits->

unfortunately it's a bit expensive now and will cost about $120 for two kits->

If you decide on 2x2GB, DDR3, 1333MHz you'll only have 4GB total but it will cost about $20 or more->

so. i presume that i will be better off with4gb of ddr3 than4gb of ddr 2. either will be ok. just worried about going too big and getting glitchy. if you know what i mean.
