  • RAM Help

    I'm in the midst of helping my dad do some basic upgrades on his machine. It's a bit dated, but it suits his needs and he doesn't want to spend the money to build a new one. Anyways, someone told me that if you had DDR3 memory it was backwards compatible with DDR2 and would just slow itself down according to the motherboard. Well, I bought this ...

I figured it would be easier to just switch out the video card, upgrade RAM, add some HDD, and maybe ...
