Is this ram ok for gaming?

[schecterplayer]

hey everyone. i have noticed in a couple of my games i get low fps spikes sometimes. mostly when making fast turns like in skyrim its the worst. i have very odd ram configuration. slot 0 is a corsair domintor ddr2 running at 400 mhz slot 1 is crucial 2 gig at 556 mhz slot 2is 1 gig running at 333mhz. slot 3 is the same

so my question is would this weird configuration make games lag alot?

also i have been wanting to upgrade my cpu. i have a phenom x4 9950 running in an am2+ socket. ive heard that i can drop an am3 chip in and it will work right? will this cpu be a good upgrade? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103893

thank you

How much fps do you get? Ram should not cause much lower fps.

well my two main games are bf3 and skyrim. i get about 35-55 fps in bf3 high settings. (i would like it to not drop below 50)
skyrim gets very laggy when turning. like 3 fps. then jumps back to 40- 50 ( again would like it to not drop below 50)

What is your DRAM frequency? Check it from cpu-z. I am thinking it is a rendering problem of cpu/gpu.

You mean when you do 180 degree turn then fps drop to 3 and then jump to 40? Dose it happen in BF3 when you perform 180 turn? If you have witcher 2, then check it there please.

Also check cpu and gpu usage from task manager and gpu-z.
