Should I upgrade at this moment?

Greetings.

I have a question, regarding the RAMs. I saw, that the price of RAMs are quite low at the moment and I'm thinking of upgrading abit of them. At the moment I have DDR2 4 Gigabytes of RAM and I would like to upgrade it to atleast 8 Gigabytes of DDR3 RAM. Should I do it? My motherboard can use both DDR2 and DDR3 Memory.

Any motherboard that can use both DDR2 and DDR3 is so old you will not see a benefit from upgrading to DDR3. Only a very few motherboards back in the Core2 ( LGA 775 ) days had that capability and those CPU just can't use the faster DDR3. The only reason they moved to DDR3 on that platform was to have an industry standard.
