RAM help needed

[Ishan Dixit]

Hello guys.
I am looking for improved performance in adobe photoshop 2014 and Corel painter 2015.My current config is, AMD 955 BE proc,Hyper TX3 cooler,Gigabyte 460 watt PSU,ASUS 88G mobo, Corsair XMS3 4GB RAM,integrated HD 4200 graphics, 5400 RPM hdd (i am going to replace it with samsung ssd) Currently whenever i load any digital painting with multiple layers corel painter hangs up for some time. When i opened resource monitor i found that the entire 4 GB RAM was full so i decided to add another 4GB of RAM.
My RAM is CMX4GX3M1A1600C9 and i want to pair it with CMV4GX3M1A1600C11. If i do so i will save 13 $. Can i do so ? If yes then what will be the performance loss for above two software and HD gaming ( I will add at least GTX 760 or higher and a PSU later). If performance loss will be high then can i add this as price of Vengeance and XMS is same at my place.Thanks

If u can get CMX4GX3M1A1600C9 that wold be better because the two rams will be on same latency
There will be no problem if u use other version that may reduce some slight performance

Okk, but what about Vengeance RAM ?

All the rams are good if u choose doffrent model with diffrent cas lateny u may feel a slight performance change thats all it wont make any problem

Mixing DRAM can be and often is problematic, only way to tell is to give them a try. If there are any problems, give me a shout and we can try voltage/timing adjustments to get them to play nice

Seems like i should go for the same RAM. Thanks for help.
