Rather than more ram get better ram /

Since I know nothing about good RAM could you point me in the right direction?

When working with ram more or less 4 things are important:

size: expressed in GB (more = better)
frequency: expressed in MHz (more = better)
timings: usually expressed as CL_ (smaller = better)
voltage (for the new intels it has to be 1.65V or less)

For decent high-end performace I would get at least 1600MHz CL7 ram.

How to install a new motherboard without reinstalling Windows

right now i have a AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4400+
its blahh.

I have a GTX 260 1792 GB vRAM and I'm getting a new processor and a mother board. I want to know from M3 what to get since he seems like a genius Btw yes I just realized that ram is 1333 Mhz lol so what is a good combination of a new Processor, motherboard, and RAM for $800 which I am willing to spend.

It's pretty much the sam thing, imo that is the best I would buy if you're going for a $350 cpu.

Edit: the one I gave seems to be a tad bit better + it's silent (no fans).

Edit 2: I'm off, bye
