Please post your opinions on whether a memory upgrade would be worthwhile and what you would suggest. I occasionally get BSoD with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error when playing newer games (which, according to a few websites, tends to be cpu overheating or ram related. My cpu is fine).
My basic stats:
OS: Vista and XP sp2 (both 32 bit)
AMD 5000+ Black with Zalmann Cooler
EVGA 8800GT SSC
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4
4x1 gigs G. Skill pc2 6400 DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 1.8-2.0V (can only run 2 gigs due to compatibility issue with mobo)
Rosewill 550 Watt PSU
I know neither of my OS could recognize the full 4 gigs... but 3.3 (or whatever it detects) is faster than 2! I'd appreciate if some of the experts around here could suggest decent ram for this setup (4x1, 2x1, 2x2 - what's best?), favorite brands, and if possible - exactly what sticks would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
