    Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    T9400 2.53GHz 6MB L2
    Memory 2gb 667mhz
    320gb HHD


    I wanted to upgrade my ram in my 6930p Right now I have to temp ram 2gb 667mhz. I want to upgrade to a 800mhz but I don't know how much I should get I wanted 8gb but I'm not going to play much hard core games so this might be to much.

    What do you consider to be the best overall memory needed for games and App.

    if you have a T9400, you should be able to use 800Mhz ram and make your RAM run at 800MHz..

    The ram that I'm using is a temp ram I had in my old Hp tx1000. I guess I'm better off getting 6gb 800mhz

    4GB is good enough for games. More than that won't yield any performance benefit, so don't waste your money.
